Changing starter on f4i - $CHANCE$ - 02-18-2010
I think my start went out, an I was curious if there's an easy way to tackle it or is there no easy way it's a damn pain in my ass, if you can help I would appreciate it big time!!

I just changed mine. It's pretty straight forward if you follow the manual. The hardest part was popping the throttle bodies off. Tip- use the the handle of a hammer and wedge it under one end of the throttle body and push down, using the frame as leverage to pry/pop out one side out of the rubber boots. Once one side is out the other side should wiggle free.
Also gonna need a LONG Phillips to loosen the bands on throttle body.
Suppose to use a new gasket on thermostat after removal too, but I used some ATV sealant (I think it's called) and had no problems.
First time I did this, it took all night. This last time i did it in 2hrs.
Good Luck, post up if you have problems.

Thanks man I ended up getting changed out pretty easy, I found that if you just pull the subframe back an pull the 2 hoses that run down by you shifter linkage an pull them back it's way easier took me like like 30 minutes
