Yes : here is how you do it the quickest way I found, first jack up front end and put up on ramps if you have,place ramps in backwards so they will be out of your way,now for the bottom bolt on the starter take out from under the car,the top you will need a small extension we used a universal wrapped in electrical tape and socket and wrench[ tight but you can do it,bottom ,we used a 12mm wrench and another wrench to break the bolt loose.Now the not so ,remove bottom bolt on engine mount,then remove the top bolt,now remove the alternator,,now with you jack and a short 2x4 turned sideways ,put it on the oil pan and between the frame and jack it up,[slowly jack it up and pay attention ,not to much,make sure your clear at all times,Note while removing the alternator you may like we had to jack the motor up first and unscrew the alternator bolts and the wiring from up top,after that remove the motor mount,then your starter is clear to come out and reverse the process to put back together,good luck,everthing should come out from up above,not under the car

 

PLEASE READ THE DATE OF THE POST - after seven years, I'm sure he's not looking for help.

In fact, he's not been here since 2015...

 

Probably sold it rather than replace the starter.

 

Probably sold it cause replacing the starter almost NEVER fixes anything. Usually, they are replacing the starter due to a "no crank" situation that is almost always in the RCM.

 

yep,,I wasn't really answering his question,I was answering anyone looking for and answer,what made me answer it was ,I myself was looking for answers,and it would have been nice if i'd see and answer on here on how,instead ,i figured it out as I went along,I decided to share what i had done to anyone looking for a answer,As far as the RCM ,it has been total replaced with the new upgrade one along with new battery,Key also has been reworked,that's another one this car has problems with ,it's a very simply fix,but one can pay a dealer thousands of dollars if not know what to do,the electrical system on this car is ?$#$# .but yea your most likely right ,i was just answering for the next guy looking

 

The OP may not need it, but with these cars getting age on them, someone in the future may need this help. Thanks for the post. James

 

We must not forget that the Service Manual does a good job in describing this type of repair.

 

i found it very helpful since I am looking for how to replace a started and having trouble finding information

 

Be warned that in almost all cases, replacement of the starter does not fix anything, because your "my starter does not work" is caused by the RCM.
