Thank you so much. I replaced my starter today on a 2006 honda accord with an OEM one. Took me a good two hours as it was my first DIY. Seeing the horror of the 17 mm bolt being hard to come off, i sprayed pb blaster two days prior and let it soak. The bolt came off without any effort with a half in socket and 24 inch breaker bar. Also, i guess everyone removed the 14 mm bolt first, which causes further pressure on the 17 mm. Id suggest remove the 17 mm and then proceed with the 14 mm. New ignition switch + new started + new battery, car starts like a brand new one.
I can't remember where I got it, but it looks similar to "Nut & Bolt Thread Checker" on Amazon. It's not bad, but there are some drawbacks: if you are trying to measure the threads on something large, it's hard to spin the whole daisy chain around. Also, the threads aren't too deep. Lastly, I wish the markings were clearer.
Oh my goodness this video saved my life!! Thank you thank you thank you!!! We got the car working again thanks to your help!!
Thank you. Im about to do this on my 06 accord and I can so understand why you exclaimed that “YES” once she starts up 😅
