I just changed the solenoid on my 88 GMC 6.2l Diesel. I think the bolts holding the starter in were 17mm. I know the bolts holding the wires on were 8mm. I didn't have anything metric on hand. To remove the wires you'll either need a closed end wrench or a deep socket.
It's easy its just above the starter remove the starter with 1/2" socket your crank sensor is right there one 10mm socket
14mm
disconnect the battery, pull the primary cover and remove the jack shaft, You will need a 1/4 Allen socket to get to the starter bolts. remove battery pos cable from starter and remove
To remove the starter in your 05 Pontiac Grand Am you will need a socket wrench. You will also need a car jack to lift the car so you can reach the starter.
I just changed the starter in my 2000, 3.5L, V6, Oldsmobile Intrigue. I am going from memory here but the sizes should get you fairly close. The starter is held on with 2 bolts. I used a 13mm (or maybe 11mm or 12mm) socket with a 12" extender to remove the bolts. There are 2 wires attached to the starter. I used an 8mm socket (but a deep socket, the kind of socket that is ~3" long) to remove the small wire. I used ~11mm socket (deep socket) to remove the large wire. Everything was metric. It was not an overly difficult repair. Wiggling the starter in and out of position was probably the hardest part. Remember to disconnect your battery before starting.
17 mm to take off the cable, 12 point 10 mm for the starter bolts.
jack up vehicle and support it with stands.the starter is on the front of the engine,there are two bolts that hold the starter up.you will need a 15mm socket to remove the bolts. you will also need a 13mm socket to remove the power wire off the back of the starter.then there is one more wire you will need to remove and its an 8mm.just do the reverse to install it
To remove the starter from a 1962 Porsche, first disconnect the battery to ensure safety. Then, locate the starter, which is typically mounted on the engine block. Remove the electrical connections and the mounting bolts securing the starter in place, usually using a socket wrench. Once the bolts are removed, carefully pull the starter out of its housing.
First remove the battery cables from the battery. Remove the electrical connections to the starter and label for replacement. There are 3 bolts - 13mm. The bottom bolt is also the ground terminal, therefore you will need a deep socket for that bolt. The other two are accessable ideally with about a 7" extension to your socket wrench. The top bolt is on the top of the starter and I could fit my hand up there to feel it and place the socket. The 3rd bolt is between the bottom and top bolts. Remove the 3 bolts and the starter falls right out. I replaced with a remanufactured, lifetime warranty starter from Pep Boys for about $120.
to remove top bolt you will need a long socket extension bar and a universal joint adaptor.it is a pain to get at but once you have done it it is not so hard in the future so socket to fit bolt,uni joint adaptor,extension bar then ratchet in that order and you will get it
