if you have tools , jack vehicle up safely ,and block up high , remove o/s wheel ,remove exahust fixing , remove and push aside cat , remove pas pipe so you can get your hands in , remove heat protection plate mounted on starter ,and earth lead ,remove one pin from starter into bell housing , remove other pin from bell housing to starter , when starter loose ,remove wiring , oooooo and disconnect battery at start of job , very tricky if your sunday mechanic ,leave it ,if you capable ,give yourself about 3 hours , crazy job

its at the back of the engine and quite awkward,if I remember right there is a very long bolt from the gearbox bell housing and another on the starter side,guessing but could be 16mm each bolt
