Re: changing the starter??

It depends on the clearance under the starter. Some motors need to be lifted a few inches to get the bolts out.
If you can get a wrench on them its only 2 bolts under the front of the starter and another bolt on the bracket.
Everything depends on the engine bay and can you get to it...

Usually just the 2 bolts and bracket . Maybe remove the exaust manifold for some room?
And Yes, some motors do get removed to change a starter./sometimes the stringer is not undercut for clearance.
