Has anyone installed a starter on their Compass as of yet? The one i have has a whole in the side of it and pieces are falling out. After turning the car off it acted like it wanted to keep starting. I finally got it to turn off after I heard a snap. Apparently something on the starter blew a whole in the side of it. Not big just there. Anyways I haven't found anything anywhere on how to remove the old one. There is some junk in the way to get to the starter, I wasn't sure how much to remove. If anyone has some tips that would be great!
Thanks!
edit. It has the 2.4. oh and no haynes manual out yet.
