Default Pulling out the Starter on an 87 CRX Si

My CRX is getting harder and harder to start. The starter just clicks or struggles for a sec and then just silince. After about 10 to 20 trys, it will crank up perfectly. Its been getting worse so I think I should pull the starter.

I dont have a shop manual yet (just bought the car.) Is it pretty easy to change? I cant find a how to on it and I read in somones build post they had a hard time with it.

What do u guys think?

It's on the back side under the distributor.

There ya go, Gustav laid it all out. Supper simple. Shouldn't take long at all. I would recommend finding a shop that rebuilds them though. It will save you a lot of money VS buying a re-manufactured one from the parts store. I think it only cost $40 to have mine rebuilt, and it was pretty far gone. The guy said usually it's like 20 bucks. They even painted it. They're about 80 @ at the parts store and they're just rebuilds. Good luck
