Removal of starter motor from 20v

[Kneale Brownson]

See, if you're doing your own work changing out the "lifetime warranty" starter motor every couple of years,  I think I'd rather pay a little more and get one that doesn't need replacement every couple of years.

Hmmm, I remember now where it was - VIP.  I *think* they do labor there 
as well.

I thought we all did our own work?

Oh, you mean in the warranty situation?  Good question. I never thought 
to ask, of course.
