The following are the typical steps for replacing your old starting motor. Several automobile models may differ in their starting motor placement, so only use this as a reference to aid you along the route. For specs and suggestions, consult your service manual.
Prepare the Workspace: Collect all of the required tools and supplies and keep them close to reach. They must have a kit of sockets, ratchets, and screwdrivers. For electrical components, a piece of nose pliers will prove helpful.
Take the Necessary Safety Precautions Before You Start Working: Protect yourself by using insulating gloves and safety eyewear. To avoid electric shocks, remember to unplug the batteries before beginning electrical operations. Lift the vehicle with a hydraulic or manual jack to expose the starting motor.
Remove the Old Starter Motor: Unplug the power cables to the starting motor and battery. Some wires and cables in the assembly may need to be removed.
Install the New Starter Motor: Make that the new starting motor fits snugly in the mounting brackets. Install the new starting motor and secure it in place by aligning it with the bolts. Attach the power lines and other electrical connections to the starting solenoid and other components.
