Question1994 Pontiac Grand Prix SE 3.1L 160,000 mi-Replaced alternator and battery less than a year ago. When I try to turn the car on, I'm just getting a fast continuous clicking. Although I had them both checkd 2 weeks ago, I took the battery and alternator to have them tested, at my husbands request. As usual, I was right and it wasn't either. I believe it is either the starter solenoid or the starter itself. Eeither way, it's cheaper to replace them together, but I can't get the starter out. I have a Haynes manual, but it has very little to say on how to get it out. I have it all, except what I believe to be the last nut, which my husband and I cannot break to get off. But I thought "this is the last bolt" about 4 times yesterday, but it still barely feels loose. Is there somewhere that I can find pictures or better insturctions on how to get this sucker out?
AnswerHi, there are just 3 bolts, 2 of them are a 15mm socket, the other is a 10mm.
The 2 15mm comes though the bottom of the starter, one is next to the oil pan, and one bolt is on the radiator side of the starter, the 10mm bolt is for a brace on the back of the starter. If this don't help, then go to autozone.com they could have what you need.
