How do you change the starter on a 1991 S10?

Answer 1

Remove Exhaust pipe from the exhaust manifold, then disconnect exhaust pipe at the point just beyond the catalytic converter. Remove pipe from vehicle to allow clearance to remove starter. their are two bolts on the bottom pull those they should be 5/8 pull all electrical connections then their will be a stabalizer bar on the eng. pull that one more bracket at back of starter. If you can not remove the rear bracket bolt because the engine mount is in the way, you may have to lift the engine to allow for clearance.

Answer 2

The starter is located on the passenger side of the engine . Looking at it from under the truck, look up by the oil filter. It will have 2 cylinderical bodies and is attached to the transmission housing. To remove it is a challenge of course. The bottom bolt is fairly easy to see and remove. It will have a pipe clasp attached to it. The top mount is a 14 mm nut on a stud at the bell housing. On a r22 engine there is a cable running above it which makes it hard to see. Over slightly is the nut that holds the cable clasp. Getting to it you will need a swivel attachment near the socket and an 8 inch extender. The ratchet will have a little room to fit so you can turn it. Once its loose and removed , you can move the starter and remove it.

Answer 3

Answer 4

take off the + side battery cable. you have 2 14mm or 9/16 bolts on the bottom of the starter. i have found it almost impossible to reach the wires until you drop it down. then you just remove the wires and replace in reverse order. sometimes you have to shim the starter, but most of the time just replace it

Not to disagree with the answer above but ... there are lots of variables to this question. First,.. There is a different process if you are working on a 2wd or 4wd.. also if its a manual transmission or automatic, V8 or not. On a 2wd V8 automatic it is much simpler of a process.. I find since I removed one out of both this evening. on a 2wd and depending on the type of starter you have in it .. it may require an 8mm wrench or short socket , 15mm wrench or short socket for the wiring and a 9/16 deep-well with a 6inch extension (for clearance of the transmission lines) for the bolts that secure the starter in place. if you start by loosening the bolts that secure it almost all the way it will make it much easier to gain access to the wires that you gotta disconnect. ( oh and disconnect the battery since the wires will short out fuses if they touch anything or could give you an unwanted shock). once you got the wires disconnected then just push up on the starter with one hand and use the other hand to undo the 2 bolts that you already loosened up. and that's all there is to it .. just reverse the process when replacing it by starting the 2 mounting bolts just a turn or 2.....

now.. on a 4WD V8 manual transmission model it sucks even more because you have alot LESS room to work. .. I found the only way to access the starter for removal is to first undo the 2 bolts that hold in your Clutch slave cylinder and carfully pull it back out of the housing with the hydrolic line still attached (so you dont lose any clutch fluid and have to re-bleed your clutch after).. be watchfull to not kink the line going to it and im sure you understand why... so moving on lol... once you have that clutch slave cylinder pulled out and moved a bit out of your way .. the process I mentioned above would be the next steps .. just be sure when replacing the starter .. when you re-secure the clutch slave cylinder you align the push rod correctly .. if your not sure .. remove the plug bolt that is on the side of the housing so you can see if its in the proper place .. its much simpler than it seems ... .I hope this helps and again this is not to disagree to what was said earlier .. thanks and god bless

Answer 5

First, disconnect the battery. Then, raise the front of the vehicle and locate the starter which is touching the flywheel that is between the engine and tranny. Remove the bolts and disconnect the cables. Some times it is easier to remove the wires first some times not.

Answer 6

Remove the battery cable from the positive post of the battery. Remove the cables from the starter. Remove the starter retaining bolts. The starter will come off. Reverse the process to install the new starter.

Answer 7

Disconnect the battery. From underneath, find the starter at the rear of the engine. Remove the wiring and the bolts from the starter. Drop the starter and install the new one.
