Parts Used
Remove wires one by one
As you remove wires from old starter plug them into new starter before removing another one in same order you removed them.
Once all wires are on new starter let it hang, it will not fall. (Unless connectors are very loose in that case GENTLY squeeze connecters with pliers before attaching to new one).
Now remove old starter unscrewing battery cap and plastic nut.
Reinstall new one in opposite order nut battery,then cap.
Test
If it doesn't work you need the starter button which is what I had to go back and order so just order them both at the same time and save on shipping.
