Do you want schematics for the starter itself or just info on how to change it out with a new/rebuilt one?

Post Replacing the Starter (1990 F-150, V8 5.xL)

Would anyone happen to have any schematics or pictures (or some kind of info) on replacing the Starter on a 1990 Ford F-150? Thanks! P.S. - REALLY need it.

First, disconnect the battery so you don't accidentally get a "short" (and lots of sparks). If you must raise the truck, be sure to do so carefully. Remember- it's YOU who will get crushed!

There should only be 3 bolts that hold the starter on the bellhousing. Depending on your ignition system, there may be 1 or 2 electrical wires that you have to disconnect.

I hate saying this, but: installation is the reverse of removal. Don't fret too much. It's really one of the easiest things to do on a Ford.

When you put the new one in, make sure that it sits flush with the mounting surface- you may have to "wiggle" it around to get the teeth to line up with the flywheel.
