I bought just the solenoid, not the solenoid+starter.
I know how to remove the starter but how do I just replace the solenoid? What does it mount to?

 

Easy, just two bolts.

 

generally you need to replace to whole thing. Not really worth the time and effort, esp if something else is wrong with the starter motor it self. Just go buy a starter and be done with it.

 

I said I know how to remove the starter. I was asking how the solenoid attaches to the starter motor.

 

I can't really afford the whole assembly right now and I know the starter works just fine. I have to jump the solenoid to start the car. I only paid $23 for the solenoid from O'Reilly.
I am in between jobs and so I may end up replacing the starter someday but for now its in perfect working condition.

 

Two bolts holding solenoid to the mounting bracket on starter body, see this picture:

Okay, my misunderstanding :| Thank you. That's so easy I just may go do it right this second
