How do you remove the starter motor on a Daewoo lanos?

Answer 1

The starter is in between the intake and the transmission, it is a very tight fit and very difficult to remove. The first thing to do is disconnect the battery and then safely jack the car up. Climb under the car and reach up over the transmission and remove the wires first. There should be a gap between the transmission and the engine that you can see thru. After the wires are off, remove the bottom bolt with a size 13 deep socket, it is very slow going one click of the ratchet at a time. Once the ratchet stops ratcheting on its own use a long screw driver in the other hand to press against the socket to maintain the ratcheting action. There is no way to get your hand up there so everything has to be done with the ratchet. After the bottom bolt is off its time to move to the top bolt. The top bolt can be much more difficult and is accessed from under the hood. Recommend using a ratcheting wrench due to lack of space. There is a lot of wires and coolant lines in the way that make it extremely difficult to remove. Again this bolt will be very slow going. After the top bolt is off remove the starter from under the vehicle, this can also be a challenge just be patient and you'll get it. This is not an easy fix on a Daewoo, 3-5 hours should be set aside just for removal and another 3-5 for installation.
