You should replace the starter in your 1994 Buick LeSabre as soon as you notice that it is failing. Buy a replacement starter from an auto parts retailer and replace it at home to avoid needing to call the auto club when the starter fails completely, leaving you stranded. The starter mounts at the base of the engine compartment on the passenger side; it is accessible from beneath the car.
Open the hood of the car and remove the negative cable from the battery, using a wrench to loosen the cable clamp retainer bolt. Raise the front of the LeSabre with a jack and rest the car securely on a set of jack stands.
Crawl under the front of the LeSabre and locate the starter motor on the lower passenger side of the engine block. Disconnect the two electrical wires from the starter by removing the retaining nuts with a wrench.
Remove the upper mounting bolts from the starter motor using a socket and ratchet. Support the starter motor while you remove the lower mounting bolts with the socket and ratchet. Lower the starter out of the car.
Position the new starter on the engine block. Install the lower mounting bolts, tightening them with a socket and ratchet. Hold the starter motor in place while installing the upper mounting bolts, tightening them with a socket and ratchet. Torque the bolts to 32 pound-feet with a torque wrench.
Attach the electrical wires to the starter. Tighten the retaining nuts with a wrench. Torque the nuts to 12 pound-feet with your torque wrench.
Remove the jack stands and lower the car to the ground. Connect the negative battery cable, tightening it with a wrench.
