You dont say what year Galaxy, but as I remember they pretty much all are sitting yo low to crawl under. So that said you need to make sure to have a floor jack, jack stands, or ramps. I cant remember which side its on and as to the level of difficulty, That can also vary by what engine is in the car, and its not hard as long as you have the tools needed and have the capability AND the most important part PAITENCE,,, Dont get worked up and pissed off if things dont go as fast as you want them too.



NOW If You can change a starter, then you can save yourself alot of money too, if your willing to learn something else when you do the starter. DONT Buy a new or rebuilt starter,,,, Just buy the Brushes, and change them out. I know a new starter for my Explorer is about $129.00, The brushes cost about $6.00, If you are not sure ask around and talk to guys at the Auto parts stores, If you do the brushes prepare to get dirty and greasy, but its well worth the savings. I was gonna e-mail you and give you more details how to do it but you have that options disabled. Feel free to email me if you like I will tell you more.

not done this one myself either. as far as I am aware its standard procedure and fairly straightforward for any competent DIY man who can safely handle a spanner. do use the normal safety axle stands and do NOT work under any vehicle on a jack.

it will have 3 bolts securing starter motor to the block and two cables. one fairly large and one thin.

disconnect these first. (replace last in order of removing thin one off first and replacing,thin wire on last)

it isn't too bad if you can get plenty of access under the vehicle but can be a bit fiddly. use a 13mm socket or ratchet spanner. the thin wire should? be 10mm. (may be a push on pull off )

ideally pop along to local library and have a look in a workshop manual. not sure if there are any online pictures eg how to on a galaxy?
