Hey Everyone-
I actually replaced the starter last night. I think the most convenient way would probably have been to shift the engine, but I managed without it... And multiple times. Of course, the new starter I ordered had a bad solenoid I discovered once I got it on, and luckily the company I ordered it from offered to replace it, so it will still be pulled one more time before all is said and done. The top bolt on the starter wasn't a problem, but the bottom one was a little tricky. I discovered that I had a long reaching tool that has a magnet on the end, and if I used that to hold the nut for the bottom bolt, then I didn't have to remove anything else to get it on.
On another note, the starter drains my battery VERY quickly. I'm going to try and update the starter cable and pick up a new battery to see if that atleast reduces the wear, otherwise I may just see if I can get some pictures of the "rear" battery modification, since in the long run it seems more logical. Thanks for the responses!
