1st disconnect the battery. After that go ahead and jack up the passenger side and place a jack under that side to stabilize it in case of jack failure. This is the side you will be working on. Next you will need a 9/16 socket and racket 3/8 drive is perfect. Loosen the 2 bolts that hold it to the block. Then pull starter back and rest on y-pipe. At this time you can easily disconnect the 2 wires on the back of the starter solenoid. The first one is a big cable that comes from the battery. It should be a 5/8%26quot; wrench or socket, it can vary in size, just check and remove with proper size tools. Then the signal wire is the small wire disconnect it, it will be much smaller. After that pull it out and repeat the process in reverse. This is a very easy job, I would suggest wearing safety glasses because of the rust and dirt that will fall into your eyes while doing this. Good Luck!
How do I change the starter in a 1993 Chevy Suburban?
un hook all the wire from the starter then un bolt the 2 bolts and drop it and reverse the process

Changing the starter on that vehicle is so simple that I would not take it to a garage. You don't even need to jack up the suburban to have access.
Josh's answer is correct. Disconnect the battery first. Sparks off the live pole can surprise you if the battery is still connected. If you have any doubt, buy the Chilton's or Haynes manual as a guide. The starter will probably come w/ some shims. These probably won't be necessary. Just put it back the way it came out and see how that works.
take the battery ground cable off the battery go under the engine and find the starter,undo the cables and undo the 2 bolts holding the starter to the engine.reverse this and be sure you have the correct number or shims installed when you put the starter back on otherwise it may not line up to the flywheel and chew the gear up on the flywheel or the starter replace the wires reinstall the ground cable to the battery good luck
