Default Replacing starter - pretty straight forward?

Just wanted to know if the starter replacement is an easy bolt on procedure. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks.

Very easy. Two bolts (37 Ft-lbs retorque). Make sure you have the vehicle up high enough or it will be tight to work on. Also, be sure to disconnect the battery or you will have a fireworks show.

Did that and more this weekend as we put my LS1 into a 94 Z28 chassis.

Thanks. Someone told me the trickiest part was releasing the clips to move the trans cooler lines out of the way. Are these clips reuseable?

I just wiggle the starter out it takes some time.

Be careful one or two of the wires are rather short, I think they are ground wires I don't recall.

Got to disconnect the battery since you are going to mess around with removing the positive/ power wire off the starter! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
