How do you remove a starter from a 96 oldsmobile cutlass ciera sL 3.1?

pull the negative cable off of the battery. remove both of the bolts that hold the starter to the engine block, support it while you pull the 2 or 3 wires off. shift the starter to a position that will allow it to clear and then drop it to the ground. installation is pretty much the reverse order. the reason that you should pull a battery cable is so that when you drop that starter out, if the positive terminal makes contact with the block, you will not get hit with a shower of sparks or anything like that.
