Because of the Variety of mounting methods there are 2 to 4 bolts that should be visible as you look at the starter itself. Not counting the wiring connections. If this a sideways mounted motor with the Starter mounted on the front of the motor there will be 2 bolts holding it in place. If the motor is mounted regularly with the transmission extending under the vehicle the starter in on the rear of the motor near the firewall and will have up to 4 bolts holding it in place but most likely no more than 3. I would recommend getting a Haynes repair manual on the vehicle for more detailed instruction on removal and installation. This manual or a Chilton's manual are both available at the major Auto Parts stores and are fairly inexpensive.
No you can jack the motor high enough to get a 2x4 between the engine mount and frame and drop the pan,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, take the 2 right side engine mount bolts off from the frame ,,, raise the engine high enough to get the 2x4 between the frame and engine mounts...then drop the pan out of it
1. need ramps
2. Floor jack and a block of wood to jack motor up after unbolting mount.
3. Unbolt mount. Jack up the side of the motor that you want to remove the mount. Just high enough to get it out and in. The motor will raise high enough.
4. Remove it and replace it with the new one.
I had to replace the same one on a car that I worked on kinda pain in the ****.
Rather than typing the directions from memory.
The best advice I can you is, stop by the library and
check out a chiltons/moter or mitchells repair manual. Any of these books will give you all the step by steps and diagrams, you will need to do the job.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
