Instructions:
1. Park your F150 in a safe location, apply the parking brake, and turn off the engine. Allow it to cool down completely.
2. Open the hood of your F150 and locate the starter motor. It is typically mounted on the passenger side of the engine near the bottom.
3. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent any electrical accidents while you work.
4. Remove the mounting bolts that secure the starter to the engine. There are usually two or three bolts.
5. Carefully remove the starter from its location and set it aside.
6. Apply a small amount of grease to the mating surface of the new starter motor and the engine block. This will help prevent corrosion and ensure a proper seal.
7. Place the new starter into position and secure it with the mounting bolts you removed earlier. Tighten the bolts securely.
8. Re-connect the negative battery cable to the battery terminal.
9. Verify that the starter motor is properly installed by attempting to start the engine. The engine should start normally if the starter is installed correctly.
10. Close the hood of your F150 and you're done!
Tips:
- If you are unable to access the starter motor from the top of the engine, you may need to raise your truck with a jack and jack stands and access it from underneath.
- Be careful when removing the starter motor as it can be heavy.
- If you are unsure about any of the steps, consult a professional mechanic.
