Does any one know how to change a starter?

It's a 96 dodge intrepid. Thanks.
Does any one know how to change a starter?
easy one, You will need to jack the car up and support it so the car does not move or fall off the jack. If you havea some simple ramps it will be even better.



Once this is done you will need to remove the battery cable to ensure you do not create any sparks.



Locate the starter under the vehicle bolted to the engine block with the transmission next to it.



You will see a single red (Thick) wire attached to the starter. remove the nut and washer with a socket wrench and remove the wire cable.



There are two bolts holding the starter to the engine block. You will need a Socket wrench to unbolt these two bolts. once you remove these the Starter should slide out along the transmission side and it should be free.



Go to the autoparts store with the starter to ENSURE you get an exact match of starter. Take your registration with you so you know the make model and year and engine size to get the right starter.



reverse order in placing the new starter.

Undo your positive battery cable, lift or jack the car up, take the starter bolts loose, then pull the starter out of the dust cover and flywheel area. Once loose remove the wires. Reverse to reinstall. The starter is between the engine and transmission, what is refered to as a dust cover hides the flywheel, and they have 2 bolts that hold them on, if you need that info.
Remove neg. battery cable, set aside.

Locate starter, near transmission.

Remove any and all electric connections to starter, set aside.

Remove bolts, usually two, one high one low. Remember where they came from as some are longer than others.

Remove starter by pulling it away from transmission.

Install new starter the same way the old one came out.

Install bolts in theyre original positions and hand tighten.

Tighten bolts evenly by swithching between the two as you go.

Ensure the starter is flush in its mount.

Reconnect wiring.

Reconnect neg terminal.

Call it done!

Good luck! You will need a socket and wrench set.

The vehicle will need to be raised, use jack stands!

If youll be patient and remember how it came off, you can put it back.

Good Luck!
