FIRST THING: UNHOOK YOUR BATTERY Remove the negative cable from it's post.The starter moror is usually attached by 2 or 3 bolts. The bolts thread into the block. Mark all the wires going to the starter. There should be one long lead coming from the battery, and then some wires going to your starter solenoid which usually comes from the firewall down to the terminals on the starter. Take a photo or make a drawing of how and where each wire is hooked up. Unhook the wires and then begin to turn the bolts left ( left is loosen - right is tighten) and begine by breaking eaqch bolt loose. Then slowly begin to back the bolts out. Make sure when the bolts come out that you know which bolt came from what hole. The bolts maybe of different lengths. As the last bolt is taken out be prepared to catch the starter, it is heavy. To replace the starter just put the new one back against the block. There may be some shims that accompany your new starter. They are used so that the gears at the back on the starter mesh correctly with the gears on the flywheel. You may need to use one, some or none. Shimming the starter gives the gears to flywheel their correct "play". When the solenoid kicks the starter motor gears over against the flywheel, if you have too much the gears may not catch on the gears of the flywheel. Too little play and the gear will go in too deep into the flywheel.

The starter is close to the firewall in the back of the engine. So if you have the hood open and you are facing the engine, it is straight ahed in the middle and about half way down in the back of the engine. It should be a bosch unit.
