Changing 1988 Comanche Starter
 

I think I need to replace the starter on my 1988 Jeep Comanche (L6 4.0) as
the engine won't turn over while the battery tests fine. I've managed to
figure out its location and can get under the vehicle to get to it. Just
want to know on a 1 to 10 difficulty scale of do it yourself repair work,
how this particualr job rates.

1. the most important for this job is to disconnect battery pole before you
start to try to fix any on this starter!!!

Before you change the starter you need to check your battery cables
carefully.

As for difficulty, on a 1-10 scale, changing the starter is about a 4
(mostly for the upside down, grease in the face aspect)
