Make sure you disco the - battery cable
That big wire on the starter is HOT and will spark /arc /weld things together if it touches ground
I use a 13mm wrench on top starter bolt...and a second wrench for leverage
The 13mm wrench and speed wrench are your friends for working on the 4.0
When you pull the engine off the trans be ready to catch some trans fluid..... if you are pulling the converter with the engine you will lose alot of fluid. If you unbolt the converter from the flexplate first (this is what I do) you will only lose a little fluid
