Right. First, you wanna disconnect the battery. Use an eight-millimeter wrench. Loosen up on the negative side terminal. Take that off and set it aside.
Now the starter's located on the passenger side of the engine. There's a wire right here that goes to the oil level sensor. I'm just gonna take a right-angle pick, disconnect that connector just so I have a little slack on the wiring. Just release that. Use the pick to slide that out. Disconnect that. Now there's two bolts right here. Use a 13-millimeter socket.
All right. Take these bolts out. You can slide the starter back. Now we're gonna take this bolt out right here. Use a 10-millimeter socket. And out. Now just slide the starter back a little bit. Just take this bracket off. Just set it aside. Goes around the starter.
And you can slide the starter down. And if the wiring's in your way, just slide it out of the way a little bit. There's a little cover right here. Take this cover off. Just slide it up like that. Now we need to take the ignition wire off of here using eight-millimeter wrench and take that little nut off. You just twist the starter to the side the best you can. And loosen it up.
You could also use an eight-millimeter socket if you can get in there. Just try to get that nut off. That works also. And slide the ignition wire off. Then not this nut right here but there's another nut on the other side that holds the positive cable on the starter. Use a 13-millimeter wrench or a socket. Loosen up the nut on there.
Now make sure...before you take that nut completely off, make sure you support the starter. Take that nut off and slide the starter down. Before we put the starter back, just take a wire brush. Just clean the connections just so it's nice and clean so there's a good connection. Just use a wire brush. All right. Take the new starter and line this connector up. There is a lock washer. I'm gonna put that on first. And then put the nut on. And tighten that up. So make sure you put it on the right stud. Don't put it on this other stud. And tighten that up. And if you have the ability to get a torque wrench in there, you can torque that to 80 inch-pounds. Do the best you can. Make sure you're on inch-pounds, not foot-pounds. All right. That's tight. Now take the ignition or the starter wire. Get that lined up over the correct stud.
It's kinda hard to see. You can't really see what we're doing. You kinda have to go in blind a little bit. Slide that on. And there's a lock washer for that as well. And put the nut on. And again, if you can get a torque wrench in here to tighten this down, you can torque that to 30 inch-pounds. Make sure you're on inch-pounds, not foot-pounds. And with those bolted on, you can take the shield. Slide the shield back in position. And then slide it back. You slide that starter somewhat in position before you put the...this bolt back in. And you get that bolt lined up. Now snug this bolt down.
And take the two starter bolts. Get these started. And we'll torque those 2 bolts to 37 foot-pounds. And reconnect the oil level sensor. Lock it in place. Then you can reconnect the negative terminal on the battery. Just get that started using an eight-millimeter wrench and tighten it up. Just snug it and then just make sure it's not loose and it's good to go.

Disconnect the battery, we're gonna disconnect the negative terminal, use an 8-millimeter wrench, loosen it up. Be careful not to hit the positive side. And set that aside. Our starter's located over here on the passenger side, and I'm going to take this bolt out right here, use a 10-millimeter socket just for the cover. Gonna disconnect the connector for this oil level sensor just to give me a little more slack on the wires. I'll use a pick. And from this side, I can release the connector, pull up on the lock tab, slide it out. That's all I pulled up right there. Now I'll use a 13-millimeter socket, take these two bolts out. This one's kind of tight because of that little cover. I'm gonna back the starter up towards the front of the vehicle. And just try to get this cover up just to get it out of your way. Just tip the starter up, slide it down. Just take a screwdriver, get this heat shield off of here. Just slides up, just clips on there. Slide that out of your way.
So I'm just gonna get an 8-millimeter wrench and we'll take the starter wire off. Sometimes these break. All right. Got that little nut off, and then you just take that starter wire off, set that aside. And now the positive cable, we have to get that off. Now, you're gonna feel around for this as well, and use a 13-millimeter wrench. Get on the nut, loosen it up. Here's a trick. If you take a long screwdriver, put it in the starter, can keep the starter from spinning. Then you can loosen up that nut. There we go.
All right, take this nut off. When you take this off, make sure you support the starter . You don't want it to fall. And then pull that cable off, slide that off. There was a washer on there. That's the bolt you just took off, the nut, and that's the small nut for the starter wire. On the power cable just take a wire brush, just clean up some of the corrosion on here and the rust. Try to get it on both sides, top side too. Also the little starter cable, just clean that up
And take the nut off the new starter and take the smaller nut off as well. There's a little lock washer on this one. The old one didn't have this. Start by connecting the power wire and there is a tab on it. The tab's gonna line up right there, so it goes on the same way it came off.
Take the lock washer, put the lock washer on first and then the nut. I'm going to use the wrench and tighten this up. If you have the ability to get a torque wrench in there, you wanna tighten this to 80 inch-pounds. Make sure you're on inch-pounds, not foot-pounds. I'm just gonna snug this up. I have the screwdriver to give me a little more leverage, and that's good.
Take the starter wire and slide it over the stud. And, again, you have to do this by feel. Put he little lock ring on, lock washer and little nut. Get that started. And if you can torque this, torque this to 30 inch-pounds. Just snug that up, not too tight. It's good. Now slide the starter back. And before you set it in position, make sure you take this cover right here. And you don't have to put the bolt in yet, just make sure you put that in before you get the starter ready and slide the starter in position.
Take the two starter bolts. It's a good idea to clean up these areas. That's where it makes a contact on the starter. And just clean up the bolt. Then get these bolts started. Tighten these up. Use a torque wrench and torque these to 37 foot-pounds. Take this 10-millimeter bolt, get that lined up. Reconnect the oil level sensor, lock it in place. Now we can connect the battery. Take the negative terminal, get that started. And snug it up. Make sure it's not loose. You're good to go.
