4. Remove the starter solenoid nuts to disconnect the
electrical cable.
5. Remove the starter assembly.
Installation Procedure
1. Place the starter assembly in position using an as-
sistant to prop up the starter to aid in screwing in
the upper stud with the weld nut.
2. Install the upper and the lower starter mounting
bolts.
Tighten
Tighten the starter mounting studs to 23 NSm (16 lb
ft).
3. Install the starter mounting bolts (1.8L engine).
Tighten

4. Position the starter electrical wire on the solenoid
terminals and the ground wire on the lower stud.
5. Install the starter solenoid nuts and the ground wire
nut.
Tighten
Tighten the starter solenoid terminal–to–battery cable
terminal nut to 5.5 NSm (49 lb–in), and the starter sole-
noid terminal–to–ignition solenoid terminal nut to 5.5
NSm (49 lb–in).

nut to 12 NSm (106 lb–in).
BATTERY AND BATTERY TRAY
Removal Procedure
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable and then dis-
connect the positive battery cable.
2. Remove the nuts from the battery rods that fasten
the battery hold–down bar clamp.
3. Check the battery carrier tray for obvious cracks or
damage. Unclip the lead to the negative battery
cable from the side of the battery tray (if applica-
ble). Detach the carrier tray if necessary by remov-
ing the upper battery carrier tray bolts, and the side
bolt that connects the hydraulic clutch hose bracket
to the battery carrier tray (if applicable).
4. Remove the lower battery tray bolts.
Installation Procedure
1. Install the battery carrier by fastening the carrier
tray upper, lower, and side bolts.
Tighten
Tighten the battery carrier tray upper, lower and side
bolts (if applicable) to 20 NSm (15 lb–ft).

taching the battery rods from the battery tray cut-
outs through the bar clamp holes, and loosely tight-
ening the nuts.

UNIT REPAIR
STARTER MOTOR
Disassembly Procedure
1. Remove the starter. Refer to ”Starter” in this sec-
tion.
2. Remove the starter through–bolts.
3. Remove the commutator end frame and brush
holder assembly.
4. Inspect the brushes, the pop–out springs, and the
brush holders for wear and damage. Replace the
assembly, if needed.
5. Check the armature to see if it turns freely. If the
armature does not turn freely, break down the as-
sembly immediately, starting with Step 14. Other-
wise, give the armature a no–load test.
Notice : Complete the testing in a minimum amount of
time to prevent overheating and damaging the solenoid.
Important : If the specified current draw does not include
the solenoid, deduct from the armature reading the speci-
fied current draw of the solenoid hold–in winding.
6. To begin the no–load test, close the switch and
compare the rpm, the current, and the voltage read-
ings with the specifications. Refer to ”Starter Speci-
fications” in this section. Make disconnections only
with the switch open. Use the test results as fol-
lows:

1) Rated current draw and no–load speed indicate
a normal condition for the starter motor.
2) Low rpm combined with high current draw is an
indication of excessive friction caused by tight,
dirty, or worn bearings; a bent armature shaft;
a shorted armature; or a shorted field coils.
3) Failure to operate with high current draw indi-
cates a direct ground in the terminal or fields,
or ”frozen” bearings.
4) Failure to operate with no current draw indi-
cates an open field circuit, open armature coils,
broken brush springs, worn brushes, high in-
sulation between the commutator bars, or oth-
er causes which would prevent good contact
between the brushes and the commutator.
5) Low, no–load speed and low current indicate
high internal resistance and high current draw,
which usually mean shorted fields.
7. Remove the solenoid assembly screws.
8. Remove the field connector nut. Disconnect the
field connector.
