2002 Nissan Maxima: How to replace the starter / starter solenoid 

You should edit this with a warning to most viewers who DO have automatics that their setup is completely different than your 6-speed manual starter location.

You made it look so easy....the starter motor on my 98 Nissan Cefiro just gave up so cool thanks for the video 👍

The white "stuff" collecting around your hose fittings are typically solids like calcium and magnesium from water in your cooling system. Theoretically, if you NEVER put any "coolant/antifreeze" in your radiator with any kind of phosphates, and you NEVER put any water in your radiator other than distilled water, you will avoid any of this "scale" build up. Antifreeze, or "coolant" that you usually purchase has a percentage of ethylene glycol and water (a 50/50 solution is typical and means you DON'T need to add any water). You need certain properties of the ethylene glycol to lubricate engine parts such as your water pump, and you need/want water because it has much better heat transfer (that is why you will typically see a 50/50 mix of the two). In REALLY cold environments, you may need more "antifreeze" to keep the water in your cooling system to keep from freezing. In warm to hot environments (I'm in Phoenix) where it doesn't freeze at night, you don't really need the "antifreeze" to keep from freezing. So what's the best "rule" you can get from me? You can usually trust a local auto parts place to recommend the proper "coolant" for your car. However, it's your car, and I would personally do some research to verify whatever you put into your coolant system. BUT, ALWAYS make sure you NEVER add anything but distilled water to your coolant system in your car to avoid minerals that typically cause the problem you are seeing. BTW, that "stuff" generally hardens rubber hoses, corrodes metals, like aluminum and iron at the fittings and worse inside the engine, and reduces heat transfer especially in your engine and radiator (where it matters most).

that was simple thank you made it look too easy

Thanks... That was easy...you made that a easy replacement... Thanks a million.. Now i will be doing my car starter this weekend...

Thought so. It looks so much easier to install over the automatic trans.

Thanks for creating an great video. Where are the jack stand locations and where is the jack placed when jacking up? I have a 2000 Nissan Maxima.

I have to change my starter it went bad I'm kinda nervous that I might forget to connect something lol I new to working on cars but this was a great tutorial.

STARTER MOUNTING BOLTS ARE 14MM (not 9/16 ) . EVERY NUT AND BOLT ON THIS AND EVERY OTHER VEHICLE MADE AFTER 1975 IS METRIC.. SOME SAE SIZES ARE SIMULAR , BUT CAN CAUSE SEVERE STIPPING OF NUTS AND BOLTS .. JUST FYI .. THANKS LINK375

I believe we have the same car, because my key looks exactly like that! Lbvs

that build up on the hose that u were wondering about is dried up coolant

great video thanks for sharing will help.

Great video, thanks really appreciate it !!!

no problem brotha nice video👌👌

I have a 2002 Maxima with starter issues and my starter is in a completely different location. It's buried in the engine. Mine happens to be automatic however. Are you sure this is an '02? Also, is this a 3.5L?

Thank you for the starter part, the auto show wanted to charge me 324 dollars

Hey is that an manual transmission or Auto? The substance in the water neck is mineral deposits from the water with in the coolant. Porsche recommends distilled water only with their coolant.

This is really good to be true I never expected my Ethereum withdrawal from luiz today..

Same and I'm in the middle of no where

Do you know where to turn the engine using a socket in Nissan Altima or Maxima 02-06?

I got a new starter put in yesterday but now my car jerking

will the automatic be the same as the standard?

Hey do you an auto or manual model because I see it say manual only

that build up is aluminum oxide from the water and moisture trapped under the hose clamped area. plus spray wd40 from the other end of the bolt to reach the treads

How many miles were on the stater motor when it died?

You can just put a cover over it like I did mines lol

You forgot the most important information Like what kind of motor your working on🐤

starter 100 percent.

"5/16 bolt" - You mean 14 mm.

wheres the click sound??

And use local part store not fuck bay

Never knew strater has a strater engine .. The fuck
