I need to replace the starter in my 2001 cavalier. Any tips or pitfalls or potential problems I should be aware of? Is it easy to get at or do I have to remove other parts to get at it? Where abouts is the starter located? (I haven't even looked at it yet)

under your car kinda like center ish. just make for damn sure that you keep the negative and positive lines seperate so you put them on right, i use color coded zip ties, (red and black) and please please disconnect oyur battery first

Don't forget to remove the nut on the top side of the front starter bolt first, or you'll snap the bolt every time..

... last time I took mine off it was just two bolts holding the starter on

Some probably are, but a few I've worked on had a nut... I cussed myself when I figured out what I did....Got in a hurry.
