This is for 3.9L V8 Lincoln LS...Not easy job for a beginner, unless you have a lift..still not so easy... Anyways.. its on the passeger side under the engine.. semi hidden.. Tools needed... jack,jackstands, rachet,13mm socket,short and deep,3inch ext and 6inch,10mm 1/4 deep socket,1/4 rachet,8mm 1/4 short socket...i also used a 13mm ratcheting wrench (fits a lil better)..not needed ...ok.. so if doing this job outside your house.. 1.remove negative battery cable,8mm 1/4 socket, with 1/4 rachet..2 loosen lug nuts..3Jack vehicle up, 4.apply Jack stands..5..remove passenger front tire... .6.locate starter and its harness..semi hidden...7. use a 13mm short socket to remove big ground cable at bottem of starter assembly, 8.remove 13mm nut off of the starter solenoid that has the power cable going to it, remove the power wire from it...9. now you have one more small wire going to the middle of the solenoid, remove 10 mm nut with your 10mm socket 1/4 rachet..,followed by the small wire...10.move harness to the side, 11. you will see another nut inside with a wire not attached to the harness, but actually attached to starter..leave that one alone does not need to come off..12. okay, so harness is out of the way, you have two bolts holding it in, one top one on the bottem, undo the top one first, you will need a 13mm, either a deep socket with an 3 in extention.(what i used) or short socket with 6inch ext..13. this bolt is the hardest one to get out since there is no room, break it loose and try un-screwing with hand, the rachet barley fits.. 14. once you get that one out, remove the bottem 13mm bolt at the bottem of starter... then wiggle the starter out.. and its out!!!takes about 1-1.5 hrs.....its a bitch..lol..
