1.
Disconnect the battery cable. 2.
Raise the car to a convenient working height. 3.
Disconnect all wiring from the starter solenoid. Replace each nut as the connector is removed, as thread sizes differ from connector to connector. Note or tag the wiring positions for installation.
On some models it may be necessary to remove the crossover pipe to complete this procedure.
4.
Remove the front bracket from the starter and the two mounting bolts. On engines with a solenoid heat shield, remove the front bracket upper bolt and detach the bracket from the starter. 5.
Remove the front bracket bolt or nut. Lower the starter front end first, and then remove the unit from the car. 6.
Reverse the removal procedures to install the starter. Tighten the two mounting bolts.

∙ 15y agoyou are in for some fun,here is what you have to do>>you have to completely remove the intake manifold>>which is connected to the throttle body,just in case you don't know what it is!it's under the grey engine cover that has the 4 bolt screws on it.you have to unscrew those off,then undo the intake manifold>.which will take a lot of undoing to get it to lift off.and right underneath the intake manifold is the starter.why Cadillac put it there?my guess is to make you say forget it and take it to a mechanic.if you need step by step instructions,just email me at mr1159@Yahoo.com and i will givwe them to you so u can do it yourself.thanks

∙ 16y agoFirst you disconect the battery. Next remove the heat shield. Next remove the wires attached ti the starter. Next remove the two bolts that attach the starter to the motor. Take it out,I believe it has to come out through the top. Reverse these steps to install. The hardest part is reattaching the battery cable to the starter when reinstalling. You will want to do this before putting it back into the hole in the engine as the cable is attached to the block and doesnt give you much slack to work with. If you have another person to help you hold the starter while you attach the battery cable it will be extremely helpful.Good luck This is easier than doing one on a Northstar engine where the starter is located under,yes under, the intake manifold.

29s here, i work for an automotive company a recently we had a 94 or 95 caddy deville with the north star engine in for a starter replacement. the starter was located in the center of the motor! the engine is a v-shape (v8) with the intake cover acting as a lid overtop of the motor with the starter smack in the center. you would have to remove the intake in order to even see the starter if you have the same motor types. That is exactly how to remove it on a 97, i have one and the starter is located under the intake.

How to replace the starter on a 1996 Cadillac De ville with North Star Engine?
The Starter Motor Is Located Under The Intake Manifold, You Have To Remove A Bunch Of Stuff To Remove The Manifold To Get To The Starter, It Is A Small Gear Reduction Starter. Not Hard To Replace At That Point. But A Lot Of Trouble To Get To. I Recommend You Take It To A Good Garrage. Expect To Pay A Pretty High Price Also. Considering The Labor Involved. GOD BLESS
