Revainrating 5 out of 5

No headaches to install as pictured.

DBElektrical is my number one source for beginners - you CANNOT beat their after-sales quality - OR their product warranty. says a small motor/ATV repair shop owner with over 20 years of experience who has bought hundreds of starters from them. I purchased this particular starter for MY OWN personal journey. Now, as for the "headache" of installing this particular launcher, IF you want to watch an online video to show you the "shortcuts" that require "homemade" tools and with very little Room for your hands to play, not to mention lots of time - BE MY GUEST. If you're looking to invest in a clutch release tool (available here at Revain for $15 at the time of this review - just look at the review ratings - and I can say MY puller cost a lot more than I bought it) it is pretty much a breeze, took me just under 1 hour from start to driving (using air and cordless tools of course). In short - all this is done from one side of the car, and do not climb under the car. Remove the driver's side rear wheel (17mm socket), remove the shock absorber (14 socket and wrench), remove the clutch inlet filter housing (14 socket and wrench, Phillips screwdriver), remove the clutch outlet cover. Snorkel (Phillips screwdriver), remove the clutch cover (8mm or 10mm head) and pry it out of the "big hole" you just made [btw, since you've gotten this far you might want to consider replace the drive belt] , Remove the drive clutch (head at 19), remove the driven clutch (head at 17). ), remove the 7 bolts securing the rear clutch cover (12mm head), remove the 3 bolts securing the motor to the gearbox mount (12mm head), then remove the 2nd Bolts holding the starter (12mm head with 6" extension). and a nut. for the battery to the starter cable (12mm socket, although most replacement starters use a 13mm socket for the new nut) [in this case I even had to heat the rubber insulating cap over the nut with a hair dryer to get access to the nut] Then pull the small wire connector from the starter - reverse process (note: coming to the clutches, first install the driven clutch by inserting the gearbox to "wind" the clutch into position, put a belt on it, then the "Feed" the drive clutch belt and place it on the crankshaft to insert the bolt) and VIOLA, you're good to go. hammer, retighten, hit again until clutch "pops out".
