first disconnect the battery and do not reconnect until completely through installing the starter.the starter is located right above the cross member in the middle of the car right behind the front bumper. to remove the old one you first have to remove the plastic dust cover. disconnect the two wires from the soleniod which is facing the passenger side of the car. then lossen the starter bolts, one you can see from in front of the cross member and the other from the back side of the cross member. the bolts are torqued down pretty tightly so be careful not to bust knuckles, I suggest using a breaker bar to help get leverage. be careful getting the old starter out it's really heavy, you can rest it on the cross member if you need to, just don't let it fall on yourself.keep the shim/shims from the old starter though there might not be any. sometimes you don't need shims I typically use what was there previously. to install your new starter if possible get someone to help. it's easier for one person to hold the new starter in place and person #2 start the bolts in the holes. make sure the bolts are correctly threaded before trusting the weight of the starter on them, if they aren't the starter can drop causing very painful injury to you or itself. if you have a torque wrench there is a specific amount the factory recomends tightening the bolts I however don't know it. I strongly recomend either purchasing a torque wrench or at least borrowing one. if one is not availble tighten the bolts as tight as you can and make sure you check them a few days later if they aren't tight enough the starter will loosen itself. connect the wires to the new starter in case you don't remember the larger wire goes to the top and the smaller to the bottom. the dust cover is a pain to get back on, the car will run without the cover but a lot of grime will get in there and could possibly cause future problems. if the starter makes weird grinding noises (while starting) you might have to go back and change the shim or shims. good luck
