The starter is located on the driver side of the engine, below the intake manifold. It isnt hard to do if you have a good set of jack stands and a floor jack. You will need to remove it from the bottom.

Easier if done on a lift, but I was able to remove it while on ramps/jacks. You definitely need a u-joint socket to reach/remove the 2 14mm mounting bolts. There is also a 12mm bolt that holds the power wire and a small clip-on plug that has to be removed. I just replaced the starter contacts on mine and have yet to have any starting issues. Lets see how long it lasts...
