starter replacement in remote location

[XWrench3]

So my son borrowed my Jeep, and now it will not start. He is as mechanical as The Pope, so I am going to have to pack up a bunch of tools, and make a 300 mile round trip in order to fix it. Can you guys tell me what tools it takes to change the starter motor on this please? its a 2005, 3.7l, automatic trans. also, do i get to remove anything else in order to remove and replace the starter motor? Like engine mounts, air conditioning pumps, power steering pump, etc.?

If it is a 4x4, it really helps to remove the front driveshaft between the transfer case and front axle. Remove all the bolts at the front differential and transfer case, then get the transfer case end out first, move that end so that you have room to get the front part out. My 2006 had bolts in that driveshaft that had 10mm head and some put up a fight to remove and the bolts on the front and back were different lengths. I don't remember too much about replacing the starter but it wasn't much fun either. When reinstalling the driveshaft, get the rear part in the area of the transfer case and put the front in first and get some bolts in it then get the rear in place to bolt it to the transfer case
