Hey. Did you ever figure out how to get the starter out. I'm about to have to change mine.

I think mine is going out on my 2018 JLUR. I looked under and I can reach the two bolts, but don't have the proper tools to unscrew it due to tight space.

I checked YouTube and it’s not there. Maybe it can’t be done? :LOL:

No, I’m curious how difficult it is, following for future reference.

Why do you have starter issues on such a new Jeep. Has this been an issue I have missed?

Mine is in the shop at the moment to replace the starter. According to them the driver side exhaust manifold has to be removed. Mine is a 2 door 3.6, may be different for you.

It is quite involved if you go by the book. Apparently the starter can be partially disassembled to clear that small space and the new ones are a lower profile and go right in. There is another thread with the YouTube link.

Good to know, thanks. I would have done it myself but was out of town. Had to have it towed.
