Today me and a friend of mine replaced the starter motor in my temperamental 1988 Mazda 929. Had a bad battery, lovely air filter, and a oil-filled starter motor. Because it wouldn't start, my friend pushed the car up onto the ramps... and I didn't jerk up on the e-brake fast enough and it crashed down. Oops. Trying again, we popped the bolts and then spent over two hours trying to get it out. Eventually my friend said "gently caress it" and took it apart right in the housing and just pulled out disassembled parts. A trip to the Autozone later, we arrive back with a new starter motor that takes an hour to squeeze in there. Did I mention my car has a horrible oil leak and everything is coated in grime? It was dirty, curse-filled work for a really irritating job that Mazda apparently did not design their starter motor to be removed or replaced. But we did it, and the car starts like a dream. Just a routine oil change and I'll have a working car again.
