I've done a lot of these starters.
DISCONNECT THE BATTERY FIRST.
Basically, remove the 2 bolts from the bell housing (pretty easy).
But the starter won't have enough clearance to drop down, so it has to be pulled over the cross member that holds the motor mounts, through to the front.
The electrical harness has a bolt that connects it to the engine block. This bolt has to be removed in order to give you enough slack to pull the starter all the way forward. Also, you have to remove the right tie rod and get it out of the way so you can pull the starter through.
Then, disconnect the two wires from the starter and reverse the process with your new starter.
Have a nice day.

How do you check starter to flywheel gear clearance-?
Generally when you purchase a starter - depending on the application- it will come with a small thin metal rod that is used to "guage" the proper distance between the bendix and the flywheel. More often than not the starters purchased these days are not necessary to shim or even worry about clearance issues. If the vehicle starts and the starter does not stay engaged too long or does not make a lound whining sound then there is no clearance problems.
