Replacing the Starter
I need to replace the starter on my 1977 F-250CS, PS,AT, 400. Never done one before, is it as straight forward as it seems or are there issues I need to concern myself with. Thanks

It is probably the most basic safety precaution.

When installing, make sure the starter is firmly up against the bell housing - make sure the plate is clean - tighten the bolts evenly, so as not to break the starter ears.
