Are you sure it's the starter and not just the contacts? Depending on starter, the contacts may be changeable without even taking the starter off the motor.

Reeeeheeeeheeeeeally?
Wish I would have thought of that before I pulled the starter on my '94 grand caravan 3.8 so I could change the contacts.
I don't know though.... not much room to do it while it's still installed.
The '92 has a different radiator and fan setup, so the fan shouldn't be too much in the way for the '98. But it might help now that I think about it. My employer uses the grand caravan (2002) for company vehicles and they sure do look more cramped for space then my '94 under the hood.
I was able to get to the top bolt on my starter with a 3/8 drive socket on a wobble extension. All by feel.
Good luck.
I had to replace the starter on our 99 Gr Voyager (3.3L engine) a few months back. The top bolt was tricky but it is just just like the bottom one in size......you'll just have to feel it out. Also, the replacement starter from CarQuest had a standard flat type of electrical connector as opposed to the Chrysler molded-plug version so I had to cut the Chrysler connector off and just crimp a flat, slide connector on the wire. Good Luck Jeff
