Hello,

In order to replace the starter you will have to lift the vehicle and support it with jack stands, for easy access.
Be sure to disconnect the negative battery cable before getting started.
Replacing the starter is fairly straight forward process.
The starter is mounted by two bolts. To take of the starter you will have to remove those bolts and the wire that attaches to the solenoid. Then the starter will drop out.

Here is a helpful article:

I have attached diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
