on the back of the solenoid are 2 screws, torx head. t30 i think, cant remember...blow the debris out of the holes first , loosen...then undo the wires running to solenoid...assuming you unhooked the batt first so you dont get electrocuted first..take off the nut above where the starter wire was, sliding the small contact wire behind it off the threads and pushing aside. unscrew the bolts on back of solenoid...only thing easy to get to, esp if you've removed factory double cats and have installed a single highflow. anyway, after screws are out of way, which are easy to strip out, gently lift the solenoid out and up to disengage the solenoid plunger from the cradle in the starter housing. the bolts holding the starter are right there, easy as you please. once you get the starter, you'll understand how simple it is. install with solenoid out, push the nose gear into flywheel and turn flywheel a little to keep tension on nosegear as you try to slide plunger into the cradle. otherwise, it'll wiggle back and forth, causing you many hours of fun. trust me. again, it's really easy to do it this way, just get the new starter first, take its solenoid off and you'll know how to take it off on starter in vechicle.
