I need to replace my starter and would like to know what tools I will need and how to get to it. Do I need to remove anything to get to it?
Thank you!

Disconnect negative battery cable. Starter is held inplace with two bolts, facing oposite ways.
Disconnect main battery cable at starter and solenoid switch.

Are you sure the starter is bad? It is unusual for a nippondenso starter to go bad this early, rare is a better word.

I have seen them last 20 years, but anything is possible
