Yo!
What's up guys? As you know I drive an SW20 but I picked up an S13 Coupe and the starter's bad... I beat on the starter while a friend cranks it and VROOM it's up and running, but that's just far too ghetto for my taste and I picked up a new starter to put in.
Here's the deal... I can't get the starter off for the life of me. What's the trick here? I can't even reach the nuts to loosen it up, one right by the manifold and one beneath a bunch of hoses and what looks like oil lines and stuff. Any hints or tips would be greatly appreciated, I'd hate to have to pay some douchebag $130 to change my starter when one of you 240 Gurus can just tell me what to do! Thanks ahead fellas, slide safe :bigthumbu
 
I get at the thing from the bottom of the car with a few different extensions and ratchets.

be sure to disconnect the battery before you start working or you could arc the positive terminal.

its not hard, be sure to disconnect and reconnect the signal wire, its the small one, starter wont run with out it connected.
