Alright guys stop laughing at me. I've worked on cars my whole life but for some reason I've never had to replace a starter. So I would appreciate if someone could give me a quick run through on what to do before I just do it, because I dont wanna f&$k anything up.

Um. Under the intake there are 2 bolts holding the starter in.

The starter looks like a large electric motor.

Disconnect the battery, undo the starter wires.

Unbolt the starter.

Replace.

Can be done in like 15 min.

...You unbolt the old one, disconnect the electrical, and replace it. There are 2 bolts.
Pretty hard not to laugh, when you say youve been working on cars your whole life and cant figure out a starter, which is probably as easy as changing plugs or oil

Exactly! Always disconnect your battery! If you don't you'll be in for a surprise when your power wire contacts anything.
