The engine is not turning over. It was for a little bit, then stopped turning over completely.

Hi,

The starter motor on this is a little different because you will be able to loosen the upper bolt, but due to a clearance issue, you can't remove it. However, it will be disconnected, and the starter will come off.

Here is a link that explains in general how to replace one. You can use this as a guide.

If you look below, I attached the directions specific to this vehicle.

Let me know if this helps.

Take care,

Joe
