Review on πŸ”‹ DB Electrical 410-54101R Remanufactured Starter Replacement for 2.4L Honda A/T Accord, Element, and TSX - High Quality and Reliable Performance. by Jon Larjin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Take your time, stay calm, balanced and patient.

DB works great! Installs into '04 Element in about four hours. The biggest difficulty was the shoulder on the big starting bolt. It's tight, get a long ratchet, breaker, or pipe. Also, you have a blind grip on the lower distributor screw and it may be covered in rust. Get a small ratchet for the bottom manifold screw. If you remove the manifold completely, one of the ports will be bi @ # $, but you will elevate your arm a bit. The starter action is slightly different from the OEM but worth a savings of over $300. When changing the throttle body gasket, you need to scrape off the old one. Not funny. I didn't use a torque wrench because I didn't have the torque specs, but it would make sense if you could get them all. Have good lighting, latex gloves and a pack of 12 for a good job. The old starter was clogged with coal dust for 100,000 and 11 years.

Pros
  • cool product
