Question
I have a 1995 S-10 chevy 4 wheel drive how do i replace the starter?4.3 engine

Answer
Lee,

Start by disconnecting the negative battery cable.

On some 4WD vehicles, access to the starter is difficult due to the front driveshaft and/or related hardware.  This may or may not be the case with your vehicle, but be prepared to remove other parts if necessary.

There are two bolts that are installed vertically at the bottom of the starter near the bell housing cover.  Remove them and hold the starter up while doing so.  The starter should then drop down far enough to disconnect the wiring attached to the solenoid.  Note where the wires are removed from in order to reconnect them correctly.

Remove the starter and reverse the process to install the new one.

You may have to twist and/or reorient the starter to get it out and to replace it.  Remove other parts, such as the bell housing inspection cover, as necessary.
