Best Answer

disconnect the battery unbolt the lead wire remove the other terminal wire (small plastic connector) - careful not to break it or the terminal unbolt the three mounting bolts while holding the starter

use anti-seize on the mounting bolts bolt the starter in by holding it and turning the mounting bolts evenly - do each to make sure the starter goes on evenly. Only tighten when the three bolts are near the end. Tighten each one at a time until snug. Bolt the lead wire on Put dielectric grease on the the plastic connector and push it on the terminal reconnect the battery start vehicle

Remove the starter power wire from the battery that goes to starter. Starter is between the transmission and engine. Remove the 3 bolts from the starter to the transhousing. Replace new starter re-install the power wire.:) Disconnect the battery first!!! Also, besides the battery cable there should also be a starter switch wire (probably a spade connection).
