Pull out the studs tied to the power steering lines, loosen the lines and relocate them and get rid of the Structural Collar. After that, unlock the solenoid electrical connector, disconnect the positive battery cable and remove it. Open the lower bolt and remove the starter from the engine. During installation, fix the starter in position, fit the lower starter bolt and tighten it until you feel 54 Nm (40 ft. lbs.). Afterwards, attach the positive battery cable and screw the nut to 10 Nm or 90 in. lbs. and afterwards, plug the solenoid electrical connector. Add the Structural Collar, find the power steering lines, attach the holder studs for these lines and tighten the studs to 61 Nm (45 ft. lbs.).
