Trying to find the location of the Starter motor on a 2006 Chevrolet Optra5 5dr LT. Also need to know what socket sizes are needed for the job.

Hello, I will attach the repair instructions with a diagram below. You will likely find this on the passenger side of the transmission under the vehicle. Regarding the socket size, I will bet that it is a 13mm for the bolts and either a 10mm and/or 8mm for the starter solenoid nuts. Please let us know how it goes.
Remove the nut which secures the starter ground wire to the lower mounting stud and remove the ground wire.
Remove the starter-to-engine block mounting bolt and the starter-to-transmission mounting bolt. (see image 1)
Remove the starter solenoid nuts to disconnect the electrical cable. (see image 2)
Remove the starter assembly.
Thanks,
William
