Starter Replacement
Who has changed their starter here? Mine still starts, a bit slower, and has a clicking/metal sound during the cranking. One of my buddies said its probably the armature wearing out and not retracting quick enough so its binding a little with the fly wheel. I have one ordered starter and it looks straight forward, but the manual notes to reset the idle (forget the exact terminology), but it looks like disconnecting a bunch of grounds and pulling fuses. Did anyone do this procedure when changing your starter? I have disconnected my battery a few times and never did this before...

easy swap.
just remove battery and tray to give your self room.
Their is only 2 wires and 2 bolts that will have to come off when removing the starter.
I removed mine the other day ,painted the main piece purple,the motor black and polished the long bolts because I was bored.
You will spend more time getting the battery and tray out than removal and installing the starter.
I did not do any idle re learn when changing the starter either so you will be fine with that.

I'm thinking I do need an extention. I watched a vid of a guy replacing his starter on his 03 v6 accord, and he did not need an extention.
I do though!!!!! I only have 2'' ext.!! (that sounds sad)
Looks like I'm chillin till the 6'' extention ferry visits me!!
Thx
