Removal Procedure
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
- Disconnect the wires from the starter solenoid.
- Remove the two bolts, the washers (if present), and the shims that hold the starter to the engine.
- Remove the starter from the engine.
- Remove the nut, the bolts, and the starter shield.
Installation Procedure
- Install the shield to the starter motor with the nut and the bolts.
- Install the two bolts through the starter to the engine.
- Connect the wires and install the nuts to the solenoid terminals.
- Connect the negative battery cable.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
Tighten
Tighten starter bolts to 40 N·m (28 lb ft).
Tighten
| • | Tighten the nuts on the solenoid battery terminals to 2 N·m (18 lb in). |
| • | Tighten the battery positive cable to starter solenoid nut to 16 N·m (12 lb ft). |
Caution: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.
