To begin, use a socket wrench to disconnect the battery power cables. Remove the soundproofing panel from the engine along with the attached cables (using a socket wrench and needle-nose pliers).

If necessary, disconnect the exhaust connector, then disconnect the starter motor power terminals with pliers or a screwdriver depending on the pressure of the clips. Unscrew the fastening bolts of the starter motor with a socket wrench and remove it from the engine bay. Finally, fit the new starter motor with the power cables and the corresponding fastening screws.
