Starters on a 1993 Thunderbird have bolts sizes not listed online. However, inexpensive starter bolt sets may be purchased from specialized online retailers.
It different for different engine sizes. See: http://www.autozone.com/shopping/repairGuide.htm?pageId=0900c152800a9932 For installation instructions for all engine sizes.
Remove the air filter and pipes on top. They include a few screws and electrical clips. The starter is on top. Remove the bolts, put the new one in and replace the bolts. Put the air mechs back on. Done. Took 20 mins total. Cost was 139. 2 bolt starter sizes 15mm on top 17mm on lower right
Surely you have a set of sockets. More than likely it is metric. Just try different sizes until you find the one that fits.
okay i did this on my 93 park ave... there are three bolts... i dont remember the sizes... but they are located one on the top rear of the starter.. two near the front bottom.. then the electric plug. you dont need any special tools i did it with open end wrenches... once you get it all the bolts out gently manuver the starter pass the a-frame and out... replace it the same way in reverse.
Many sizes of bolts are used in any helicopter.
There are 2 15mm bolts that hold the starter in, one you access in front of the frame rail, the other from behind the frame rail. BUT, before you remove the starter itself, there are a few steps to take first! Disconnect the battery first. there will be a black plastic shield that you will need to remove, there are 3 or 4 10mm bolts holding that on. then you will need to disconnect the wires going to the top of the starter, that part is known as the solenoid. There will be about 3 sets of wires going to the larger terminal, which will require either a 15mm, 17mm, or 5/8's, or 9/16's deepwell socket to remove. (there were many different size nuts used on them, just giving you the most common sizes used). There will also be a smaller wire bolted on, that one is USUALLY a 5/16's socket or wrench, but yours may be a different size. depending on what engine you have, the 2.5 4-cylinder will also have a rear mounting bracket that will have to be removed, it takes 2 15mm bolts to remove that from the engine, just pull that bracket down with the starter. but more common, the 3300 V6 engine doesn't have that, so just go ahead and pull out the bolts holding the starter to the engine. These bolts are usually VERY tight, so be prepared!!
Just changed mine last night. also a 95 2.5. 1) unplug neg. battery term. 2) drain oil 3) remove the large bolt under the starter attached to the fly wheel cover. this step allows you to remove a bolt out of the starter 4) remove the 2 starter bolts and 2 connecting wires to the starter and pull out the starter. note, you will have to wiggle the starter a little to get it out. 5) remove the other 3 bolts attached to the fly wheel cover now you have access to your oil pan 6) remove the bolts around the oil pan. some of the bolts are different sizes and some are kinda hard to get to. at the end of the oil pan is a metal lip. 2 bolts to remove. 7) lower the oil pan 8) remove gasket 9) clean junk from old gasket and clean any debris in oil pan. reverse order to reassemble
Most starters have two or three bolts holding them in and one bolt holding the wire from the battery on. And you usually have to get under the car to get to it. So...you need a floor jack, jackstands and wrenches in sizes to fit the bolts. As for the procedure: unhook the battery, jack up the car and put it on jackstands. crawl under and find the starter pull off the push-on wire that goes to the ignition switch. Unbolt the wire to the battery. Remove the two bolts holding the starter in place and remove the starter from the car without dropping it on your head. Crawl out with it, take it to the auto parts store and trade it in on a rebuilt one. Installation is the reverse of removal.
No, the starter will not fit. Different engine sizes and different starter styles.
To remove the starter: 1. Disconnect positive (red) cable on battery 2. Remove flywheel cover at starter. It's plastic, and you can break it, so be careful. If I remember right, there are three bolts holding it on. 3. Disconnect the cable(s) from the starter. 4. Remove the starter bolts. I think there are three. Don't remember the sizes, it's been a couple of years. 5. Drop the starter out and take it to your local parts house and have it tested before you buy another. Just a note or two - If your starter works on the test rack, but you can smell it running (sharp, acrid, burning, or smells of ozone), get a new one. It may work if you put it back on like that, but it won't for long. Hope this helps.
Engine sizes, models? Not enough info to reply. My instinct is to say NO.
