ANY INFORMATION YOU CAN PROVIDE ON REPLACING THE STARTER WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

THIS WILL BE THE FIRST TIME I HAVE DONE ANY ENGINE WORK. SO BASICS ARE REALLY NEEDED HERE.

I FOUND A PICTURE ON THE WEB BUT COULD NOT SEE WHERE THE BOLTS WERE AND THEIR ACCESSIBILITY.

THANK YOU, STEPHANIE
IF I AM SUCCESSFUL I WILL GLADLY DONATE SOME $ TO YOUR SITE!

1. On models with audio anti-theft system , obtain radio deactivation code prior to disconnecting battery ground cable, then deactivate system as outlined under Technician Safety Information . 2. Disconnect battery ground cable. 3. Raise and support vehicle. 4. Disconnect starter motor electrical connectors. 5. Remove starter motor bracket, if equipped. 6. Remove starter motor bolts and starter motor from vehicle. 7. Reverse procedure to install. There you go i even posted a diagram of where the bolt's are.
