==General precautions on removing a starter==

Prior to beginning work on the [[starter]] or any electrical system on an automobile, the negative (-) [[battery cable]] should be disconnected.

Starters are heavy and can easily cause injury if they were to fall on you.  Make sure that the starter is supported before removing the bolts and do not lie directly beneath it.
