How to replace the starter motor in the Ford KA?

Model: Ford Ka MK 1 - Years 1996-2008
Part: Starter motor

In this tutorial, we can see how to replace the starter motor in the Ford KA, a simple operation but one that requires good manual skills. First of all, make sure that the key is not inserted, then open the hood and disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. Lift the front right side of the vehicle, go underneath it, and using a socket wrench, disconnect both power poles. At this point, all that remains is to unscrew the three fixing bolts, separate the starter motor from the support, and install the replacement following the reverse procedure.
