Starter motor removal

Lift it and then remove the belly plate ,disconnect the battery and then remove the starter motor its not difficult but can only be done from underneath

Before getting to the removal process, make sure that you have enough time and the tools at hand, and then disconnect the battery.
You will need spanners sized at 10, 11, 12, and 14 millimeters, an eight-millimeter socket, eight milimeter Allen bolt, and small torque.
Next, get to the starter motor under the hood, beneath the diesel filter.
It can difficult to unmount it because there is barely enough room, that's why this process alone can take up to four hours.
First, unwind the starter bolts located under the hood, then do the bolts below. It goes without saying that you need your car to be raised.
Once the motor is loose, remove the wiring from the engine that may hinder the job.
Make a note of all parts and remember where they belong to help you easily reattach the motor once you have fixed the issue.

its at the back of the engine ,not difficult but a lot easier with a ramp or a pit ,but it can be done jacking vehicle up and putting a stand under it .Bracket on back of starter to be removed as well .

It looks easy for the 940 but I am not sure about the 940 turbo, as maybe some of the turbo parts are in the way. I'm not sure about that, since there is no documentation on the turbo model vs. the 940 standard model. If you can follow the following instructions, then I would give it a whirl.

1. Drain the oil and the coolant

1. Raise the vehicle on a lift. Disconnect the battery to starter relay cable at the starter motor and remove the bolts and starter motor.

1. Remove the engine front support insulator-to-support bracket nuts and washers on both supports. Raise the front of the engine with a transmission jack and wood block and place thick wood blocks between the front mounts and engine. Lower the engine and remove the transmission jack.

1. Remove the oil pan attaching bolts.

1. Remove two bolts securing oil pump and screen bolts and drop them in the pan

1. Remove oil pan

It is not as difficult to do for a determined and careful person who knows his/her ways.

1. Write done the code of your radio.
2. Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
3. Locate the positive (red) wire of the battery to where it ends, and remove it with a 12-mm socket and wrench. Remove the other thin positive wire attached to the solenoid.
4. Loosen and remove the starter-motor bolts with a 14-mm sockect and wrench. Then carefully take out the starter-motor.
5. Exchange the starter-motor for a rebuilt one at the dealer's or any competent autoparts store.
6. Reverse removal procedure for installation.

Hello! The starter on a 1993 Legend is very well hidden. It is behind the left drive axle.

I'll give you the removal steps to give you a better idea.

Disconnect the wires from the starter motor solenoid...

Unbolt the bracket from the starter motor...

Remove the left drive axle (see chapter 8 in a Haynes repair manual)

Remove the forward section of the exhaust system (chapter 4)

Remove the starter mounting bolts and carefully maneuver the starter motor from under the vehicle.

As you can see this is a very difficult job.

Good luck.

Starter - Removal & Installation

The starter motor on some models is very difficult to see from the top of engine compartment as it is covered by the intake manifold. On these models, without removing the intake manifold, the starter motor must be removed from underneath the vehicle. Because the starter motor mounting bolts are not easy to access, a long extension with a universal joint mounted on a proper sized socket could be used. A three foot transmission extension is commercially available from tool vendors that has a 3 / 8 inch drive of the driven end and 1 / 2 inch drive on the drive end. If used with a non-binding impact universal joint and a proper fitting impact socket, the starter motor fasteners can be removed from underneath the vehicle.
Once the starter motor fasteners are removed, the starter motor may have to be moved side-to-side several times to loosen the dowel pin if it has corroded in place.

NOTE When the battery is disconnected, the radio code, on-board computer and clock settings will be lost. The radio code should be obtained before disconnecting the battery or radio. Once the battery has been reconnected, the radio will not function unless the code is keyed in.
