I found a trick for sliding the starter out and the new one in in about 30 minutes. If you remove the stud above the starter that secures the metal lines in place and remove the dipstick tube there is just enough room. You will have to be very careful of the rubber hoses above the starter and will need a small port bar about 2 feet long. You have to wiggle the starter out, by raising the back end of the starter left, up and towards you. Also you have to twist the starter so the solenoid clears the motor mount. Then use the pry bar for the last 1/8 inch to make the noise come clear. Opposite to go back in.
