There's one procedure for changing starter motors that works on everything from a Volkswagen Bug to a semi tractor.
1. Unhook the battery.
2. Find the starter. There will be two wires running to it. The fat one (it goes to the battery) is bolted on, the thin one (it goes to the ignition switch) has a push-on connector. Disconnect both wires.
3. The starter is held to the engine with two bolts. Remove the nuts and then the starter. Be careful because these are heavy--and the bigger the engine is, the heavier the starter.
4. Put the new starter in place and bolt it in. Tighten the bolts very tight.
5. Reconnect the two wires, then hook the battery back up and you're done.
Quick note: Before you unhook anything, get a little piece of wire, strip both ends and short the two wires together WITH THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND THE WHEELS CHOCKED!!!! If the starter cranks the engine the problem is somewhere in the ignition-switch circuit, not the starter.
