Remove the top two starter motor bolts.
Raise and support the vehicle.
Disconnect the (A) S-terminal wire, and the (B) B-terminal nut and cable from the starter motor.
NOTE: A protective cap is installed over the B-terminal and must be replaced after servicing the starter motor and solenoid assembly.
