To change the starter on a Chevy Celebrity with 2.5L engine:
1. Disconnect the battery ground wire. Use gloves to avoid getting acid on your skin.
2. Raise the front of the car to a suitable height for you to work under it. Use suitable blocks for the rear wheels, and put jack stands under the front.
3. Disconnect the wires from the starter solenoid. Take note of where each wire was so you can put them back correctly.
4. If there is a rear brace on the starter remove it.
5. Remove the two bolts that hold the starter to the block. If there are any shims between the starter and the block save them to put on the replacement starter.
6. At this point the starter should easily pull out of the block. It is a little on the heavy side so don't let it fall on you.
Re-installation is the reverse. Be sure to put any shims back in place.
