Here you go.
1. Disconnect battery ground cable, then raise and support vehicle.
2. Remove starter motor attaching bolts and nuts.
3. Disconnect all electrical connectors from starter motor and remove starter.
4. Reverse procedure to install.

Disconnect the battery negative cable. Disconnect the two wires from the starter. Remove the bolts that hold the starter to the transmission. Remove the starter. Reverse the procedure with the new starter.

Hi:
Disconect the battery first. Next locate the starter on the front of the engine at oil pan level. Now disconnect the wiring to the starter. Make a mental note of wire location. Now, there are two bolts holding the starter on to the trans. Remove the bolts and the starter will come off. Replace it in the reverse order.

How do you change a starter in a 1993 Dodge Grand Caravan? I have read many online answers and some say I need to remove the tire to get access, while others say I need to remove the exhaust manifold, while others just say remove the three bolts with no suggestions on where they are located.
