If your testing indicates that the starter must be removed, the first step is to disconnect the negative cable at the battery.
It may be necessary to place the vehicle on a lift to gain access to the starter. Before lifting the vehicle, disconnect all wires, fasteners, and so on that can be reached from under the hood.
Disconnect the wires leading to the solenoid terminals.
To avoid confusion when reinstalling the starter, it is wise to mark the wires so they can be reinstalled on their correct terminals.
On some vehicles you may need to disconnect the exhaust system to be able to remove the starter.
Loosen the starter mounting bolts and remove all but one.
Support the starter while removing the remaining bolt.

Once the starter is free, remove the last bolt and the starter.
Once the starter is out, inspect the starter drive pinion gear and the flywheel ring gear.
