All of the nuts and bolts are metric on it. It helps to use a 13mm swivel socket on the starter bolts but you can use a wrench if you need to. Also, a 7/8 open end wrench for the 02 sensor, or an 02 sensor socket.

Let me give you the steps for the starter and also the front engine mount bracket. You don't have to remove the entire mount, just the bracket

REMOVAL

1. Open Hood.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3. Raise vehicle and support.
4. Disconnect the electrical connector from the 02 sensor.

Remove the 02 sensor from the exhaust manifold .

Remove the front mount through bolt.

Remove the front mount bracket from engine block.

Remove the battery cable from starter.

1. Remove the lower starter bolt and remove starter.

INSTALLATION

1. Install starter to transmission.
2. Start the upper starter bolt.
3. Start the lower bolt and snug it so that the starter will not move.
4. Remove the upper bolt.
5. Connect the battery cable and torque nut to 8.5 Nm (75 in. lbs.).
6. Install the front mount bracket and check heat shield location.
7. Install bolt the upper bolt and torque bolt to 54 Nm (40 ft. lbs.)
8. Install the lower and torque bolt to 54 Nm (40 ft. lbs.)
9. Install the front mount through bolt and torque bolt to 61 Nm (45 ft.. lbs.)
10. Install the 02 sensor and torque to 27 Nm (20 ft. lbs.)
11. Lower vehicle.
12. Connect the negative battery cable.

FRONT MOUNT

REMOVAL

1. Raise vehicle.

1. Remove front mount to bracket horizontal through bolt (Fig. 87).
2. Loosen the rear mount through bolt.
3. Remove front mount vertical bolts (Fig. 87).
4. Remove front mount and separate the starter heat shield.

INSTALLATION

1. Position front mount on lower radiator crossmember.
2. Loose install front mount to bracket through bolt.
3. Install front mount vertical bolts. Tighten bolts to 61 Nm (45 ft. lbs.) . (Fig. 87).NOTE: Be sure the weight of the engine is static and in rest position. this for a 2.7 v6

CYLINDER HEAD TORQUE/SEQUENCE:
Use the special tool and a torque wrench to tighten the bolts to 103 - 113 Nm (76 - 83 ft. lbs.) of torque in the order shown in the illustration. Tightening should be done in two or three steps.

CAUTION: Install the head bolt washers with shear droop upward as shown in the illustration

the dampner is the crank bolt

2.5L (VIN N) Engine

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Most vehicles will require the removal of the front exhaust pipe. Use penetrating oil on the fasteners to ease removal.
3. Disconnect the starter motor electrical connections.
4. Remove the starter motor mounting bolts and remove the starter.

To install:

1. Clean both surfaces of the starter motor flange and the rear plate. This is important since the starter grounds through its case and the transaxle flange to which it attached. Some remanufactured starters may have paint on these areas which should be cleaned off before installation. Install the starter motor onto the transaxle and secure with the retaining bolts. Tighten the bolts to 20-25 ft. lbs. (26-33 Nm).
2. Connect the electrical harness connectors to the starter.
3. Connect the negative battery cable and check the starter for proper operation.

Follow the +cable from the battery. The starter is on the other end.

THE CLICK IS THE STARTER SOLENOID, ALL THE CRANKING HAS BURNED THE CONTACTS, REPLACE THE SOLENOID, IT IS MOUNTED ON THE STARTER.

10 ft lbs no real patterm needed
