   Go to a auto parts store and buy yourself a haynes manual for your model car. It has illustrations and step by step instructions on how and what has to be done and what order.

   Disconnect the battery first. Unbolt the starter and pull it out. Very easy.

   be specific? How specific you want it? Only problem is you didn’t say what engine….here is a 3.0 12 valve (vulcan) eighth digit U

   Remove battery terminal… raise car on jack and jack stands

   Starter is in front of vehicle below the oil filter in a vary accessible place.

   Disconnect 3 13mm headed bolts (One has a 15mm nut and the negative battery cable to it)..use an extension on your ratchet to catch the 2 upper ones

   lean it down backside where the wires are first , remove 8 mm (or could be a 10mm) nut holding small wire , remove 13mm nut holding big wire

   reverse to reinstall.

   That’s it
