*BUMP*

Anyone have some help for him? Unfortunately, I'll be useless. I'd have gone in blind changing it out.

I think its a pretty straight forward procedure. Make sure you disconnect the battery first

Dont need any BZZZZZZT's while working on it.

well, i couldn't get the starter off... and it wont start... so i had to push it to the dealership.....

luckily, the dealership was less than a block away... but still...
what a pain

and a friend says it may not be the starter... but the alternator? he says it may have seized up... eh
i'll let the guys at the dealership deal with it

it's easier... even though i love working on my car...
