If you get the new starter you should be able to tell what bolts you need to remove .

Parts diagram shows p/n number 6035607 but doesn't list the size, but I think they are 3/8-16 x 4" coarse thread.

If you're doing the starter on the 4.0, beware the upper bolt is metric and the bottom one is english. M10-1.5x28 and 3/8-16x1.75", specifically. They're just close enough that you may not notice the difference until you foul up the threads when you get them mixed up. Yes, I admit that I found that out the hard way.

This is a non-USA turbo diesel, correct?

Wow, I need to pay more attention. Unfortunately for the TD, the parts manual just says "bolt" and only shows the one through the mounting bracket.

After some searching i found this from a parts file online, the m10x1.5x28 that would be i assume a 10mm head with a 1.5 thread and 28mm length but what is the size is this
.375-16x1.75 bolt

10 x 1.5 THREAD that's 28mm long.
