Starter Question EASY

Am I going to have to move my exhaust or anything out of the way? Or for that matter, do ANYTHING special other than unbolt and rebolt when I put my new one in? I'm needing to know how much time to allow for it in my weekend planning.

Goes in like butter. I changed mine without even jacking the car up. I backed it up on a curb, although it would be alot easier if.....

Like said already, easy as butter. Might even be a good idea to wrape the started with a heat shield while it's out. I wish I had done that the last time. This starter's been in for 16 months and already, I have starter problems.

...and pay REAL close attention to any shims you may have installed on your starter. Make sure they go back in or you may end up destroying your flex plate (like I did).
