The installation steps for the Mitsubishi 12V starter are as follows: Preparation Work •  Confirm that the starter model matches the vehicle, and prepare tools such as wrenches, sockets, and torque wrenches.  •  Disconnect the negative cable of the vehicle's battery to avoid short circuits during the installation process.   Removing the Old Starter •  Locate the starter, which is usually near the junction of the engine and the transmission.  •  Remove the cables and connectors of the starter; you can mark the connection positions first to ensure correct connection during installation.  •  Use appropriate tools, such as a socket wrench, to unscrew the bolts that secure the starter. If the bolts are too tight, you can use a penetrating solvent (such as Liquid Wrench) to loosen them.  •  Take out the old starter from its installation position.Install the new starter •  Place the new starter in the original installation position, ensure the mounting holes are aligned, then insert the fixing bolts and tighten them gently by hand.  •  Connect the electrical circuits of the starter according to the previously marked positions, ensuring a secure connection.  •  Use a torque wrench to tighten the starter's fixing bolts to the specified torque. For example, the torque for the starter fixing bolts of the Mitsubishi Montero model is generally 27-34N・m (20-25 foot - lbs).Inspection and Testing •  Reconnect the negative battery cable.  •  Start the vehicle, observe whether the starter works normally, check for any abnormal noise or jamming, and ensure that the starter can start the engine smoothly.

Mitsubishi 12V starter installation has the following precautions:Regarding safe operation •  Power-off operation: Before removing the starter, be sure to turn off the ignition switch first, then disconnect the negative cable of the battery to prevent short circuits and accidental starting. This is particularly important for vehicles with computer-controlled engines. During installation, first connect the positive battery cable on the solenoid switch, then connect the positive and negative cables of the battery, and ensure that the ignition switch is in the off state before connecting.  •  Protective measures: During the installation process, a fender three-piece set should be laid to prevent scratches on the vehicle's paint. Wear insulating gloves during operation to avoid electric shock.

Component Protection:

◦ Avoid Knocking: During the disassembly and assembly of the starter, tools such as hammers and wrenches should not be used to knock on the starter to prevent damage to the components. For parts with tight fits, pull and press tools should be used for separation and assembly, and hammering or forceful striking is strictly prohibited.

◦ Clean Components: When cleaning starter components, only cotton yarns that have been wrung out with gasoline or compressed air can be used to wipe the armature, excitation winding, and electromagnetic switch assembly to prevent short circuits or fires caused by liquid remaining on them. Other components can be cleaned with liquid cleaners.

Regarding installation specificationsModel matching: Before installation, carefully check whether the model and specifications of the new starter match the vehicle. At the same time, ensure that the starter has no external damage and all components are complete.Bolt tightening: The starter fixing bolts should be tightened to the specified torque, and the tightening torque of the nuts on the solenoid switch terminals must also meet the requirements. If the torque is too small, it will cause the wire harness to loosen, generate heat, increase circuit voltage drop, affect starting performance, and even cause arcing and burning. If the torque is too large, it may lead to the terminal being broken.Wiring connection: When connecting the electrical circuits of the starter, ensure that the connections are firm without loosening or short circuits. After installation, check all circuit nodes and connectors. If there is rust, corrosion, or looseness, it should be promptly addressed.Mounting surface treatment: The starter's mounting surface and flange spigot must have good positioning contact with the mounting surface of the engine block or transmission, and there must be no oil stains or rust. When fixing the screws, they must be tightened crosswise simultaneously. It is strictly forbidden to fully tighten one screw first and then tighten the others, to avoid causing deviation of the installation center.Regarding subsequent inspections •  Tool cleaning: After the installation is completed, check whether all tools have been taken out to avoid leaving any tools in the engine compartment, which may cause potential safety hazards.  •  Performance testing: After connecting the negative cable of the battery, start the vehicle, observe whether the starter works normally, whether there are abnormal noises or jamming, and at the same time check the starting performance of the starter to ensure that it can start the engine smoothly.
