If the starter motor is noisy or if it locks up, before replacing the starter, loosen the mounting bolts enough to hand fit the starter properly into the pilot plate. Tighten the mounting bolts, starting with the top one.
1. Disable airbag system as described under MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES/AIRBAG SYSTEM DISARMING.
2. Disconnect battery ground cable, then the starter electrical cable.
3. Remove cable support and ground cable connection from upper starter stud bolt.
4. Remove starter brace from cylinder block and starter.
5. Remove starter mounting bolts.
6. On models with automatic transmission, remove starter from between sub-frame and radiator.
7. On models with manual transmission, remove starter from between sub-frame and engine.
8. On all models, reverse procedure to install.
Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
