Unhook the battery and jack up the right side of the car, then open the engine compartment lid. The starter is bolted to the transmission's mating flange. You need two 17mm box-end wrenches for this.
To get the top bolt out: Reach around behind the fan shroud, find the 17mm nut and remove it. It'll either come off or the bolt will spin round 'n' round. If the latter happens, crawl under, put a wrench on the top bolt and then go back up and unscrew the nut. (If you had to crawl under, once you've gotten the starter out take the top bolt to a welding shop and have the guy weld a little bolt to one of the flats on the bolt head. The big bolt will spin around until it hits the case and then will spin no more.)
Next, unhook the two wires. One pulls off, the other is bolted on with a 13mm nut.
To get the bottom nut off, hold the starter in one hand and remove the 17mm nut with the other. Do this because starters are heavy and can fall out right on your head.
