AccuPart Starter Motor for 12-25 Jeep Wrangler JK and JL with 3.0L or 3.6L Engine

For the JL… this is the shorter version! 2018 JLU,

Disconnect both batteries, remove wires then unbolt. 10mm for battery terminals. Aux battery removal: front pass inner fender, plastic rivets, 10mm bolts pry away inner fender. 3 x 10mm bolts for battery box drop. 2x 10mm battery terminal and wire removal.

Starter: 1/2” for positive nut… 2x 15mm for unmounting starter and 15mm for coolant tube mount (just under the starter).

If you have the longer starter have fun getting the old one out…. It’s just too tight to remove.
Trick: disassemble in place. 2 Phillips 2 torx. Make sure you have a mini bit ratchet for tight areas.

Previously bought a remanufactured starter from a box store. Obviously remanufactured means using the factory defective one (which has the longer body that you cannot get out /put in easily). Btw the remanufactured broke a little over a year later. That’s why I bought this one.
Probably total 1.5 hours-ish if no problems. About 3 hours for me with this being 2nd time even.
Techs are guided to remove motor mounts (for room),support engine, and go from there. From everything I found charge 6-7 hours labor.
