The first and most important thing you MUST do is to disconnect BOTH of the battery cables from the battery.



Now, locate your starter and if space allows remove all the wires that are attached to the starter solenoid. Next remove the two large bolts the hold the starter to the engine block. You may need to loosen or remove one or more sheilds around the starter. Once you have removed those two bolts, it should come right out.



Now, when you go to install the new starter, be sure to read the installation instructions very carefully. You may be REQUIRED to install a shim between the new starter and the block to ensure proper starter engagement with the flywheel.



Once you have determined whether or not you need to install a

shim, you can place the new starter in the same location as the old one and reinstall the two starter attaching bolts. Then reattach all of the wires in EXACTLY the same locations as they were removed.



Then reinstall you battery terminal cables and start vehicle.



The starter should turn the engine with a minimum of noise. If the starter does not want to turn the engine over easily, the starter is too close to the flywheel and you will need to add a shim. If the starter makes a grinding/whirring sound when engaged, it is too far from the flywheel and you will need to install a thinner shim or remove it all together.
