Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Raise the vehicle and support it securely on jack stands. Remove the middle engine splash shield. Secure the steering wheel so it doesn't rotate freely. On the 2.7L Charger and all 300 V6 models, remove the bolt that secures the intermediate steering shaft to the lower steering coupling shaft and separate the two shafts. On all 2011 and later V6 models, remove the intermediate shaft completely. Remove the left-side catalytic converter. On 3.6L models, remove the starter motor heat shield. On all models, remove the nut that secures the
Battery Cable to the terminal stud on the starter solenoid, disconnect the cable from the terminal stud and disconnect the electrical connector from the spade terminal on the solenoid. Remove the starter mounting bolts and the electrical harness/oil cooler line clip. To remove the starter, pull it forward and down, work it up over the exhaust pipe, then work it past the disconnected steering shafts. Installation is the reverse of removal. For V8 engines, disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Raise the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. Disconnect the electronic power steering connector (if equipped) for additional access to the starter. Remove the starter heat shield (if equipped). Remove the starter motor mounting bolts. Move the starter motor assembly forward far enough for the pinion gear to clear the starter hole and the driveplate ring gear, then tilt the starter downward so that you can reach the electrical terminals on the solenoid. Disconnect the battery cable and electrical connector from the terminals on the starter motor solenoid and remove the starter motor. Installation is the reverse of removal.
