To remove the starter motor from a vehicle, start by opening the front bonnet and locating the securing nut for the starter motor. Usually, there are two locking nuts, one on the lower side and the other on the upper side.

Using a ratchet spanner, undo the bolt of the lower nut and then the upper nut, holding the starter motor firmly as a fall could damage it and complicate repairs. Remove the starter motor and proceed with the inspection.
