Best Answer

Replace your starter without removing alternator, RH axle, power steering pump or splash pan.

1 Disconnect positive from battery.

2 Jack up RH side and use jack stands.

3 On 4WD, disconnect the 4 bolts to all wheel drive and slide axle out of your way.

4 Remove 3 bolts from starter.

5 Remove bolt holding wire harness to fuel line.

6 Access starter from under the hood.

7 Wiggle starter to free it up.

8 Disconnect 2 wires.

9 You can get starter out by wiggling it between engine and RH inner fender.

10 This is important: Follow coolant hose that is right above the starter to where it connects with metal pipe. Disconnect it and put a plug into the hose end. Now tie a tie strap to the top of the hose. Now weave another long tie strap to that one and attach it around a solid object like an intake tube. Now keep pulling on the hose until it is very tight. This will get it out of your way down below so you can get the new starter in.

Now install new starter in reverse order.
