How do you change the starter on a 1995 Ford Explorer?

Answer 1

I am writing this from memory.

To Change the starter you need a few specialty tools. with the right tools it takes up to hour.

The zero clearance racket- husky model 24903 or similar- a must . it a racket that the handle turns- homedepot.

craftman socket cap set 943303 (sears0, racketing combination wrench (homedepot)

I going to pass over all the basic tools like jack stands, etc.

there not must room to get your hand in there.

disconnect the negative battery cable at the battery.

lift the car up off the ground.

1. disconnect the one of the starter bolt from below -using the husky racket and appropriate socket.

2. disconnect the second of the starter bolt from below or from the driver side wheel well using the craftman socket cap set, racketing combination wrench and appropriate socket.

3. Now pull out the starter and turn the front of the starter up so the positive cable and nut is facing down. remove the both cables.

4. with every thing remove now you can slip the starter out. you will need to move it around to find the spot that it slip out.

5. Install in the reverse order.

I hope this help. It is very tight to get your hands in there. So you need the specialty tools.
