- 4). Remove the starter by taking the bolts off using a socket and a ratchet. Be careful when taking the last bolt out as the starter is heavy and you don't want it to fall on you.
- 5). Put the new starter in place and tighten the bolts with the socket and ratchet. Reconnect the wires according to how you marked them. Secure the wires to the starter by tightening the nuts with a wrench.
- 6). Remove the jack stand from under the Ranger and lower the truck to the ground.
