Cant find mounting bolts to 1999 buick lesabre starter

1. Disconnect the battery negative cable.
2. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Vehicle Lifting.
3. Remove the torque converter cover.
4. Disconnect the battery positive cable from the starter.
5. Disconnect the wire from the solenoid S terminal on the starter.
6. Remove the 2 starter motor mounting bolts.
7. Remove the starter motor.

could be a problem starter relay or starter solenoid
if the battery lead goes straight to the starter , pull the starter and have it bench tested

Easiest thing to do is follow the large positive battery cable to it. It will be bolted from the bottom, up to the block near the transmission and engine oil pan.

disconnect battery cable, raise and support vehicle, disconnect wiring at starter, remove starter mounting bolts then remove starter. for a 86 buick lesabre. good- day !

unbolt mount from transmission while supporting with jack. Jack up slightly. Unbolt old mount from cross member. Replace in reverse order, do final tightening with jack removed. A few vehicles require the cross member to be removed from frame to access the lower bolts/nuts.

The plastic parts are sheilds which are snapped together with push pin retainers. If any are broken they can be purchased at auto parts stores or the Buick Dealer

Hello Bellamy.
When removing starter, note if any shims are used between the starter and mounting surface. If shims are found, reinstall in original locations.If starter is noisy during cranking, remove one .015 inch double shim or add one .015 inch single shim to the outer bolt. If starter makes a high pitched whine after engine start, add .015 inch double shims until noise ceases.

Disconnect battery ground cable and raise and support vehicle. Remove starter braces, shields or other components that may hinder starter removal.
Support starter and remove mounting bolts.
Lower starter and disconnect solenoid wires and battery cable.
Remove starter from vehicle.
Reverse procedure to install.

There you are, remember to use safety glasses to keep your vision protected.
Use proper safety stands and wheel chocks to support the vehicle while under it.

Take care.

THE HUB BEARING BOLTS ARE 75 FT LBS. USE SOME PENETRATING OIL LIKE WD40 OR CRC PENETRATING OIL.ALSO USE 1/2 RATCHET WRENCH.YOU CAN GET MORE LEVERAGE MORE LOOSEN POWER.LET ME KNOW HOW IT GOES.

check the high speed fan relay ? cant remember without looking at it but some of these buicks had a blower control module mounted in the evap housing that could fail?

Remove the two ten millimeter bolts that hold the plastic guard on out and remove the guard.
