How to Replace the Starter in a 1976 Chevrolet 1500 Pickup
- 1). Pop the hood and disconnect the negative battery terminal. Use a wrench to loosen the nut. Place the wheel chocks behind the rear tires.
- 2). Jack the truck up on the passenger side and place a jack stand under it near the jacking point. Raise the jack stand up to the frame of the truck.
- 3). Crawl under the truck and label the electrical locations using the marker and masking tape. Remove the nuts securing the wires to the starter and pull the wires off the connections. Remove the starter using a socket and ratchet to remove the mounting bolts. Be careful with the nuts when replacing the wires. The threads are different.
- 4). Put the new starter in place on the engine and tighten the bolts with the socket and ratchet. Reconnect the wires and tighten the nuts with a wrench. Remove the jack stand and lower the truck back to the ground.
- 5). Reconnect the battery and tighten the terminal nut with a wrench. Start the truck to test it.
