Title: 75 K20 starter solenoid
Post by: aren are on May 06, 2024, 07:45:17 am

Greetings,
Can the starter solenoid be replaced without pulling the starter?
Looks possible at a glance...
Thanks,
Aren

Yes, I did many years ago. Have not done it lately because anymore I just replace the starter. Some starters at local parts shops will give a lifetime warranty.

Sorry I missed the part about pulling the starter. You have to pull the starter. I was thinking without replacing the starter. Not much to pulling the starter though! You cannot get to the screws to remove the solenoid with it installed.

You can buy a Starter Solenoid for about $20.00 if you just want to replace it. It is fast and easy to replace. Take out 2-3 screws that hold it on and disconnect the wire on the back. it will come right off.

Definitely have to pull the starter to get to the solenoid.
