Replacing starter
 

So my starter bearing is bad and I can't find one thing on how to get the starter out. I can see it I just can't imagine an easy way to get it out

FSM will have R&R procedures. Other than that, I dunno. Maybe someone else will have some hands-on tips.

Bump to find the answer myself. I was looking at that when I dropped the Trans. It's a tight fit and lots of junk in the way.

I don't know why the couldn't have thrown it in on the right side, it's closer to the battery and there's more room

its on the bottom left as u can see in the pic below, getting to it is, well ur problem now gl.

I finally got a day to set aside and take it out, and it took about 30 minutes. Was very very easy.

Write up a diy please.

Good to know. How did you approach it … from the top down or bottom up? Did you follow the removal/installation instructions in the FSM as suggested above?

From the bottom, and I followed the steps in the FSM pages 21-22. I jacked the car up and put it on some jack stands, then removed the black body cover underneath the front of the car. From there I found the starter which is on the drivers side. Removed the two bolts holding the starter in, as well as the bolt on the front of the starter. This bolt has a black cover on it that you have to remove first. After I disconnected every thing I just slid the starter out towards the front and it came out pretty easy. This is on a manual car, just glancing at the instructions for an automatic it looks like you have to take off a couple A/T lines. I'll try to post pictures later.
