Buick Skylark with starting problems please help any help would be appreciated?
I have a 1970 buick skylark and i believe that i burnt out the starter on it i have a 455ci engine, and i would like to know how difficult it would be for myself and or a shop to replace the starter with regards to the actual labour intensity of the job.. A: It is an easy replacement two bolts 9/16 wrench or socket and a 5/16 wrench are vise grips and 1/2 inch wrench. The two bolts hold the starter on and the 5/16 and 1/2 inch is to undo the wires from the solenoid which is part of the starter. First disconnect the battery either side so there is no current running to the starter. Under the car you will see the starter is bolted on at the bellhousing passenger side this is the thing between the motor and transmission shaped like a big bell. Remove the 2 starter bolts and drop the starter down just enough to get to the wires on the solenoid Pay close attention where the wires go there are two different size nuts holding these wires on 1/2 inch and 5/16 remove the wires and then hook the
