Good instructions, but seems to be for a late model GM car. For old Fords, remove one cable from the battery as a safety measure. Raise the vehicle to obtain room to work, and place the front axle on good stands, not just a jack or concrete blocks, etc. Remove the cable from the starter, and the oil pan bolt that holds the starter bracket, if it is present, then back off the two "through" bolts that hold the starter to the engine, holding the starter securely. It is heavy, and almost always slippery from oil and grease. You don't want to drop it on your face. Lift the starter out of he mounting hole. It may be nevessary to turn it to clear the flywheel. To reinstall, reverse this procedure. This is not brain surgery, and those with limited experience should be able to do it.

You are welcome. Much of the enjoyment of having a collector car is doing a lot of the work yourself. Compared with what we see in today's vehicles, our old cars are child's play, and perfectly suitable for learning how to fix.
