How do you change starter on 97 Ford F350 diesel?

Answer 1

to change starter, first disconect battery there are 3 bolts that hold satarter to bell housing thses bolts are easiest removed using a socket on a socket extension you will need to remove wires from front of starter before removing starter. be sure to make sure replacement starter has the same nuber of teeth on gear or starter will not mesh with ring gear. note if you have a spacer between bell housing and starter when removing old starter. this spacer if there is one, needs to be reinstalled with new starter. after removal of the bolts the starter can be pilled from bell housing and new one installed when replacing bolts in starter , tighten evenly or the started will be installed crooked and will wear out gears re attach wires at starter reconnect battery cbles should be good to go
