Jul 24, 2025Leave a message

Hey there! As a supplier of DENSO Starters, I often get asked about what tools are needed to install these bad boys. So, I thought I'd put together this blog post to give you the lowdown on everything you need to get the job done right.

First off, let's talk about why DENSO Starters are a great choice. DENSO is a well - known brand in the automotive industry, and their starters are known for their reliability, durability, and high performance. Whether you're working on a small car or a big industrial vehicle, a DENSO Starter can get the engine fired up in no time.

Now, onto the tools. Here's a list of the essential tools you'll need to install a DENSO Starter:

Socket Set

A good socket set is a must - have. You'll need different sizes of sockets to remove and install the bolts that hold the starter in place. Usually, you'll be dealing with bolts in the range of 8mm to 19mm, depending on the vehicle model. Make sure your socket set includes both standard and deep - well sockets. The deep - well sockets are great for reaching bolts that are recessed or hard to access.

Wrenches

In addition to the socket set, a couple of wrenches can come in handy. A combination wrench (open - end on one side and box - end on the other) is useful for situations where a socket won't fit. You might also need an adjustable wrench for some parts where the exact size isn't known or if you need to make some minor adjustments.

Screwdrivers

Screwdrivers are essential for removing any screws that might be holding the starter cover or other small components. You'll likely need both flat - head and Phillips - head screwdrivers. A set of precision screwdrivers can be really useful for those hard - to - reach screws in tight spaces.

Pliers

Pliers are great for gripping and pulling wires, as well as for removing and installing clips. Needle - nose pliers are especially useful for working with small parts and wires. You can use them to disconnect electrical connectors or to hold small components in place while you're working.

Torque Wrench

A torque wrench is important to ensure that you tighten the bolts to the correct torque specification. Over - tightening or under - tightening the bolts can cause problems, such as the starter not being properly secured or damage to the mounting points. The DENSO Starter installation manual will specify the correct torque values for each bolt, so make sure you follow those instructions.

Jack and Jack Stands

If the starter is located in a hard - to - reach area, like under the vehicle, you'll need a jack to lift the vehicle safely. And once the vehicle is lifted, jack stands are a must to support the weight of the vehicle. Safety first, folks! Never work under a vehicle that's only supported by a jack.

Wire Brush

A wire brush can be used to clean the mounting surfaces of the starter and the engine block. This helps to ensure a good electrical connection and a secure fit. Over time, dirt, rust, and corrosion can build up on these surfaces, and a wire brush can get rid of all that gunk.

Multimeter

A multimeter is a handy tool for checking the electrical connections and the condition of the battery. Before you install the new DENSO Starter, it's a good idea to make sure that the battery is in good shape and that there are no electrical issues. You can use the multimeter to measure the voltage of the battery and to check for continuity in the wires.

Safety Gear

Last but not least, don't forget your safety gear. Safety glasses will protect your eyes from any debris that might fly up while you're working. Gloves are also a good idea to protect your hands from sharp edges and to give you a better grip on the tools.
