My starter has gone bad. I'd like to repair or replace it this weekend 3/8/13.

Ideally, I'd prefer to just rebuild the current starter to minimize the repair cost, but am having trouble locating the correct kit for my 1999 Honda Accord EX with a V-6.

If anyone knows where I can pick up or order a repair kit specific to my Make\Model Accord or alternatively, where best to purchase a reliable rebuilt starter, I'd appreciate the input.

 

Do you just want to replace the solenoid?

 

I was looking to replace the brushes and plunger, I believe they are called. I was not finding an appropriate kit online or in local parts stores, so have decided to simply replace the starter with a re-manufactured one. I have to get it done over the weekend and didn't want to waste any more time looking.

I appreciate your reply however.

 

Looks like the solenoid (#6) is a sealed unit, but maybe you can get it separately from the whole starter.

You can probably get the brush pack (#5).

The throw-out gear assembly #3 - is that what you call the plunger?

 

call this guy up, got my brush holder/kit from him.

Good suggestion, but you have to do it like that not an active link.

FWIW: When I was checking last year on various rebuild parts for starters and alternators, Honda seems to have stop selling the rebuild kits for the U.S. market. Previously, I was able to purchase various rebuild parts from Honda.

 

I appreciate all the feedback. I was hoping my starter would make it till the weekend, but it didn't. I decided to simply purchase a replacement, since my car is currently out of commission and I couldn't find a repair kit soon enough.
I went with a new Autozone Duralast, since honda wanted at least twice as much for a remanufactured one. I'm not sure how good they are, but guess we'll find out!

 

All working now? Sometimes you just gotta get the car back together & running. It would be interesting to know if the AZ starter fits nicely or what.

 

I'd gladly pay double for a "Remanufactured" starter over a "Rebuilt" starter (big difference between the two by the way), doubly so if said rebuilt unit is from AutoZone. Why? Too many folks I know who've purchased AutoZone starters have had to take advantage of the "Lifetime Limited Warranty", two, three, and even four times within the first year. The aggravation of replacing the starter multiple times far outweighs the extra cost of the remanufactured starter, in my mind at least.
