Trying to replace the starter but I don't have a diagram of it so I can see about where bolts and wires are.

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is a 2wd or a 4wd, so I went with the 2wd model. To get you started, here is a link that explains in general how to replace the starter motor. Note: Before working on or around the starter, make sure the negative battery is disconnected to prevent electrical shorting.

Now, if you look at pic 1 below, I attached a pic of the starter motor and where the two mounting bolts are located. The remaining pics are the directions (including the wiring) for removing and installing the starter.

Take a look through the directions and let me know if it helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

joe
