How do you replace starter on 2004 Chevy Aveo?

Answer 1

from underneath vehicle . first disconnect battery using 10mm wrench.remove 2 bolts on bracket at top using12mm and 15mm on bottom . carefully move bracket so you can use 3/8 ratchet with deep 1/2 inch or 13mm socket and extension a bit longer than starter.

make sure battery is disconnected at this point. using 12mm wrench remove nut holding larger red cable on starter. using a 5/16 wrench or equal size remove smaller wire on starter solenoid.

at this time using 12mm wrench remove nut securing ground wires on lower stud holding starter.It would probably be better to remove stud that you cant see first, but first loosen lower stud a couple of turns before removing top stud.

using 1/2 inch or 13mm deep socket connected to extension carefully move bracket so you can fit socket and extension behind starter. you can have assistant look down from top of engine compartment to guide you fit socket over nut. once upper nut has been removed ,you can now remove lower stud.

carefully remove starter.

when purchasing a starter, have parts store bench test it before replacing!

Make sure all electrical connections are clean and secure on wiring.
