BTW, to the OP, to make your job easier since you'll be flat on your back underneath your Jeep, you'll need a 9/16 for the two starter bolts and the big wire, and an 8 for the small wire.

Thanks for the info. Was getting tired of tapping my old starter with a broom stick to get here started in the morning. This was one of my first Do-It -Yourself repairs and it was super easy!
