changed starter today what a hell job . please note for others to get to the top bolt you need to remove battery and battery tray this helps you get to bolt easly. also helps to remove heat sheild and bolt that holds trany stick . no need to remove stearing parts cut wheel to pasenger side and starter comes out .
I replaced my starter today; it only took me an hour and one-half. I discovered that there is no need to remove anything to gain access; if you use about 21" of socket extensions and a universal, you can get both bolts out quickly from underneath the car. I certainly couldn't say this was the easiest starter swap, but far from the hardest.
