3. remove the cables and wires for solenoid on starter.

5. starter falls out.
6. reverse above.

change out, replace, etc does the hot wire test pass? if yes, leave it alone. see the tricks here, and all tests. all are very simple tests. most changed out starters are good, because DIY dont test it right. here are the tests. http://www.fixkick.com/nocrank.html

You should be able to reset all trouble lights by disconnecting the negative side of the battery for 30 seconds. The problem with that is it will come back on if not addressed. It is most likely a sensor in your emissions that is causing this.

The bolt is reverse threaded most likely and if the belt is on leave it on while you break the bolt loose. Once it is broken loose remove the belt then unthread the bolt the rest of the way and replace installation is the reverse of removal.
