To fix or repair the starter motor, cut the negative battery cable and lift and support the vehicle before you begin work. Should your vehicle be fitted with 4WD, take out the front drive shaft first. On some 4WD cars, take out the two bolts at the transmission and pry the supports partway to expose the lower starter bolt. If you have an automatic transmission, take out the two bolts that are holding the system. Make sure the back end of the starter motor housing goes behind the housing and is supported by your hands to avoid it being supported by the wiring while you move it. Pull the nose of the starter motor down so you can conveniently reach the nut screwed onto the positive battery cable harness connector eyelet that fits onto the solenoid battery terminal stud, then unscrew the wire harness connector and remove it from the starter post. Detach the positive cable wire connector from the solenoid connector on the receptacle and remove the starter. When mounting, link the solenoid wire to the starter motor, connect the battery cable with the solenoid stud and tighten the nut on the battery cable connector eyelet to 25 N.m (19 ft. lbs.), making certain the starter motor does not dangle from the wiring harness. Connect the starter motor to the transmission and, if you have an automatic transmission, slide the cooler tube bracket into the correct place. Tighten both bolts to 68 N.m (50 ft. lbs., using a torque wrench). For certain transmission systems on 4WD vehicles, install the two bolts for the support bracket at the transmission and install the front drive shaft also, when equipped with 4WD. Once you have removed the jack, attach the negative battery cable to the bottom of the battery.
