Both were 3.0-liter V-6s, but one engine (VIN: U) is a standard electronic fuel-injected engine, while the second engine (VIN: 2) is a flex-fuel overhead valve engine. The starters on both of these engines mount the same, with the exception of the mounting bolts themselves.

Remove the positive battery cable using a 3/8-inch drive ratchet and socket set to loosen the nut on the cable. Remove the battery cable by hand once the cable nut has been loosened.
