Default I can't ever do anything easy!
I consider myself a pretty decent mechanic. I have enough tools for 10 mechanics. If you need it I usually have it. Just seems that every time I work on something (which is always) a problem is going to occur! & not an easy problem! Starter went out on my 06 Honda Rancher. No problem. Remove air box & woo la there it is easy to get too. Remove 2 10mm bolts & hot wire, it's a Lil stubborn to come out, wiggle & giggle & it finally comes out. Go to replace with new & it won't go. Check out the pictures. Notice any difference? Top of old starter is missing! Yup still STUCK in motor!!!! & I MEAN STUCK!!! with hardly any room to get tools in there. With a lot of cussing scratching my head & more cussing I finally got it. Starts just fine now ImageUploadedByTapatalk1374590449.809756.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1374590464.549828.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1374590483.030956.jpg

Actually I didn't get rough with it. That's what pisses me off! I could understand if I would have took a tire tool or a 4lb hammer to it!

Thanks for posting this. I have an 08 rancher, it still starts fine but I know I'll have to change it eventually.

Cussing is necessary to fix anything. They just leave it out of the directions. If you fix something without cussing at it at least one time, you didn't fix it right

That's right & gotta have at least a bolt or 2 leftover or it won't run.

Well that sucks. Maybe they should have put a little grease around that thing before they installed it.
