Remove the two support bracket bolts at the transmission, then pry the support bracket aside enough to gain access to the lower starter mounting bolt. Additionally, on some 4WD models the driveshaft will have to be detached from the front differential companion flange for access to the starter mounting bolts.

Remove the starter from the engine and bench test the starter. If the starter turns over slowly, check the starter cranking voltage and the current draw from the battery. This test must be performed with the starter assembly on the engine. Crank the engine over (for 10 seconds or less) and observe the battery voltage. It should not drop below 9.6 volts. Also, observe the current draw with an ammeter (Use an inductive ammeter to measure starter current draw). Typically a starter should not exceed 160 amps. If the starter motor amperage draw is excessive, have it tested by a dealer service department or other qualified repair shop.
