    How to replace the starter on the 4.7

    1. Block rear tires
    2. Jack up vehicle from jack point just behind drivers front tire.
    3. Put jackstahnds under both front jack points.
    4. Remove drivers side front wheel. 3/4in (more room to work)
    5. Remove 30a fuse that powers all radio functions6. Place transfer case in neutral (engine on,foot brake on , trans in neutral)
    7. Remove negative battery cable and secure (10mm)
    8. Remove 4 15mm bolts from front of driveshaft(impact wrench and possibly heat to remove)(put loc-tite on when reinstalled)
    8. Remove 6 8mm bolts from rear of driveshaft.
    9. Seperate driveshaft from transfer case and slide rearward and leave there.
    10. Remove 2 15mm bolts holding starter.
    11. Manipulate starter to access two 10mm bolts holding heat shield and remove shield.
    12. Remove 13mm bolt holding large wire connector with flex head ratchet
    13. Rotate starter to view small wire connector. Push on connector release on side located near center of selonoid and it will pop off easily(do not pry).
    14. Install new starter in reverse order or removal.

    HEMI notes:

    On a hemi, there is no need to remove the front drive shaft as I have read elsewhere here.

    Removing the front driver's wheel and the wheel liner opened a window where you can either see or touch not both... Removing the wheel liner also cost 13 plastic rivets... The same window will eventually let the old starter out and the new one in.

    Disconnect Battery

    Rip out fender liner

    Remove two 15mm bolts, 2 small heatshield bolts, one *really* annoying power clip and one13mm nut for the power line.

    Pull starter out via fender hole.

    Install in reverse.

    No driveshaft removal, don't even have to jack up the car, nor pull the tire (2" lift helps I suspect)
