- Remove the nut and disconnect the starter wire.
- Disconnect the starter connector.
- Remove the bolt holding the starter stay to the upper stiffener plate.
- If equipped with 2WD, remove the starter by removing the nut and
three bolts. - If equipped with 4WD, remove the starter by removing the nut, four
bolts, and the center bracket.
To install: - If equipped with 4WD, install the starter, the center support bracket,
nut, and the four bolts. Tighten the bolts as follows:
- Bolt A to 41 ft. Ibs. (56 Nm)
. Bolt B to 30 ft. Ibs. (41 Nm)
- If equipped with 2WD, install the starter, nut and three bolts. Tighten
the bolts as follows:
. Bolt A to 41 ft. Ibs. (56 Nm)
. Bolt B to 30 ft. Ibs. (41 Nm) - Install the bolt to hold the starter stay to the upper stiffener plate.
Tighten the bolt to 43 inch Ibs. (5 Nm). - Install the starter connector.
- Connect the starter wire with the nut. Tighten the nut to 78 inch Ibs
(9 Nm). - If equipped with 4WD, install the front driveshaft.
- Connect the negative battery cable.
SOLENOID REPLACEMENT
The starter solenoid (magnetic switch) is an integral part of the starter
assembly.
- Remove the starter from the van. Remove the heat insulator from the
starter assembly, if equipped. - Disconnect the wire lead from the magnetic switch terminal.
- Remove the two long, through bolts holding the field frame to the
magnetic switch. Pull out the field frame with the armature from the mag-
netic switch. - To separate the starter housing from the magnetic switch assembly,
remove the two screws and the starter housing with the pinion gear (1.6
kW), idler and clutch assembly.
To install: - If necessary, install the gears and clutch assembly to the starter
housing. Apply grease to the gear and clutch assemblies and place the
clutch assembly, idler gear, bearing and pinion gear (1.6 kW) in the starter
housing. - Insert the spring into the clutch shaft hole and place the starter hous-
ing onto the magnetic switch. Install the two screws. - Install the field frame with the armature onto the magnetic switch
assembly and install the two through bolts. Tighten the bolts on the 1 4 kW
to 52 inch Ibs. (6 Nm) and on the 1.6 kW to 82 inch Ibs. (9 Nm).
••There is a protrusion or tab on each part; make sure you line
them up correctly during assembly. - Connect the wire to the terminal on the magnetic switch and tighten
the nut to 52 inch Ibs. (6 Nm). Install the heat insulator, if equipped. - Reinstall the starter on the vehicle. Check starter system for proper
operation.
