How to replace the starter motor of the Opel Astra H 1.7

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra H - Years 2004-2010
Part: Starter motor

In this video, we can see how complex it is to replace the starter motor of the Opel Astra version H: in fact, this component is located in a position where it can only be removed by lying under the car, in a rather uncomfortable position, if we do not have the possibility to safely lift the car. Furthermore, to reach it, we have to remove the battery. The youtuber emphasizes in a rather colorful way that it is a complicated job, although feasible, and points out that the fastening screws are not normal but torx, which is important to have the right screwdriver. We can find the replacement, for example, on Amazon with the code B0764M9RJ8 at a price of 74.00, delivery costs 8 euros.
