The procedure to maintain starter motors starts with placing the vehicle in neutral gear while hoisting it in the air. Follow this procedure to disconnect the
Battery Cable ground connection while also unfastening the starter solenoid nut before tightening it to 5 Nm (44 lb-in). During installation the starter solenoid terminal cover and cables need to be tightened to 12 Nm (9 lb-ft). Separate the wiring harness retainer from its position then lay the wiring harness to the side. The ground stator nut gets removed before setting aside the strap while maintaining a torque of 25 Nm (18 lb-ft) when replacement happens. Begin by taking off the two starter motor studs but tighten the upper and lower starter motor studs first with your fingers before securing the upper bolt at 35 Nm (26 lb-ft) and the lower bolt at 35 Nm (26 lb-ft). Complete the installation by executing the reverse steps of the removal procedure.
