    They aren't too bad...just a little tight. The worst is the little clip going to the starter...it get's brittle, so take care not to break it.

    Just did a starter on my parents GC, and was done in about an hour, including putting it up on ramps.

    Yeah...that clip was the longest thing for me too. I unbolted the starter to get a better look at it. That might have made it harder.

    yea i actually pulled the clip off the starter trying to hold it up and clip it in was a bitch and the new one had a rounded clip so it wouldnt secure so i took the old one off old starter and was done in 10min afterwards wish i would have thought of that to begin with
