Ford Starter Installation Instructions
- 1). Access the engine compartment by opening the hood and securing it with the prop rod. Disconnect the battery cables by removing them from the terminals with a socket wrench. This will isolate the electrical power.
- 2). Locate the starter, a cylindrical shaped motor mounted between the flywheel and the engine. The starter can be accessed from the bottom of the engine. This will make the task easier.
- 3). Unbolt the stud at the top to remove the positive cable with the socket wrench. Pull it away from the starter.
- 4). Pull the starter off the frame by hand. Tap with a hammer if the starter is stubborn and will not come loose.
- 5). Position the new starter to the frame. Start threading the top bolt to hold the starter in place.
- 6). Unscrew the stud on the top of the starter to install the positive cable. Place the starter cable on the stud and tighten with a socket wrench
- 7). Push the remaining bolt through the negative cable and tighten both to the bottom bracket. Secure both bolts with a socket wrench.
- 8). Secure the battery cables to the battery terminal. Tighten the cables on to the terminal for a solid connection.
- 9). Start the vehicle to ensure the starter was installed correctly. The Ford will start with no hesitation
