Can someone tell me how to install the starter on a 96 honda accord please.

 

1. Disconnect the battery
2. Unplug the start solenoid wire (small one)
3. Unbolt the start positive wire (large one)
4. Remove 2 bolts (one is 12mm, the other is 14mm i think)
5. Pull the starter out of the transmission housing.

There may be things in the way though like the upper radiator hose, which can be moved aside.

 

I dont need to take off the distributor cap right? It will be able to squeeze out somehow? The start positive wire willl be bolted in or plugged in?

 

You may need to take the dizzy off, I forgot about that, but hopefully you wont. If you do, it's only 3 12mm bolts (last one is hard to get at with A/C line in the way, but a 6" extension should do)

Start positive is bolted, starter solenoid is a plug. 2 wires on the starter, you can't mix 'em up!

 

Thanks for the help! What is a dizzy and its just a bolt on and bolt off? No special way to deal with it correct?

 

Dizzy = distributor.

It bolts to the head with 3 bolts and you just pull it out. Remember what order the plug wire connect to it or just take the plugs wires out with it.

It has a "key" type shaft on it that only goes into the camshaft a certain way. It looks like ( | ), with the line in the middle offset to one side.

 

I am struggling to replace my starter. I can't get my ratchet to reach the bolts. any tips?

 

I just took mine out yesterday. I have to remove both battery and distributor cap. Use some extension with ratchet enough to pass the main starter motor.
