Anybody here own/work on a '90 Buick (LeSabre?) lately? My elderly neighbor asked me to help him with his '90 Buick, sounds like (I didn’t look at it yet, just talked with him) s replacement starter. I don’t want to make any promises if the darn thing is way up under the motor or someplace hard to get at. The car sits in his driveway a few doors down from my place. Anybody have one of these v-6s?

Is the starter on the radiator side of the engine or the firewall side? Gonna look at it with the neighbor today sometime. Thanks! Rocketman ---

The starter on this car is on the radiator side and is an easy job. Should be in and out in 45 minutes to an hour, if not less. Everything you need to get to is easy to access.
