Thanks again for this video. I just replaced the starter in my son's 97 SL2 Saturn. My friend let me use his lift. I can't imagine trying to do this laying underneath the car. Now that I've been under there, I'm super impressed that you were able to video yourself. Thanks for taking the trouble to do that. The heads up on the tape and mirror as well as size of the bolts were great preparation. It was a lot easier putting the top bolt on than taking it off! The tape trick worked great!

@chicagorex Thank you for realizing how difficult it is to get the camera in all these tight places.

Hey Richpin! Thanks for saving me $350! Changed my starter and it was awesome!

I just thought I'd add for the sake of those who get to their starter and don't see the purple wire: The new replacements sometimes have the posts on the top of the part, it is inverted.

Thanks for the vid!

@BennettGang Thank you for letting everyone know that.

thanks for the post, I forgot where the fusible link and the battery cable went :0

The starter for the 2000 and up models are exactly the same starter except for the battery and grounds connections. 2000 and up models the battery connection (purple wire) is where the solenoid screw is and vice versa.

@richpin06a Yep not easy to hold cam and do repair at the same time especially in tight space.
