changing starter writeup?

Is there a writeup on changing the starter on our cars?

Thanks!

there's some info about it in the middle of the how-to I made for the UDP install
http://www.4dsc.com/articles/drivetrain/udp/udp.shtml

it's really easy to do, just unplug a small wire harness (thin ground wire), remove the large positive wire from the starter (it's under the big rubber covering and held on by one nut), and then remove one 14mm nut and another 14mm bolt that hold the starter to the tranny and then you just pull it off and put the new one in

it's a good idea to unplug the battery while you do any work on the starter since that large wire will have voltage and is very easy to short to ground (the casing of the starter) when removing the nut

good luck
