Review on High-Quality Remanufactured DB Electrical SMU0498 for Acura TSX, πŸ”Œ ACCORD, CR-V, ELEMENT: 2009-2014, 2008-2012, 2007-2011, 2005-2011 31200-R40-A01, 31200-R41-L01, 31200-RZA-A01, 17960N by Patrick Ross

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The bottom method and plastic clips were more PIA than the back screw

I was afraid to set the start. My car would not start like a dead battery from time to time. After installation, CRV started immediately. I forgot how well it all started. I considered going upstairs for the installation, but didn't want to photograph unnecessary parts, I went from below. Tip: Remove the 27mm knock sensor for a little more room. I had more problems. Remove the plastic clips connecting the starter to the rear starter bolt. The rear bolt wasn't too bad, I used a 1/4" deep socket wrench and lengthened the wrench handle to help me loosen the bolt. At this point he was just slowly unscrewing the bolts. TIRED! The fitment was in Okay but I got tired of unscrewing 2 bolts back out I couldn't see the rear bolt as I had to turn it until I couldn't turn it anymore.

Pros
  • Everything is great!
Cons
  • Fits
