Subject:Need Starter Help

Hi Listees!  I need some mechanical help.  My 89 Westy won't start, and using
the Bentley for value readings and a multimeter, it looks like it boils down
to my starter/solenoid.  The Bentley describes removing the starter from a
Syncro, but doesn't show removal from a regular 2.1 digifant engine.  Anybody
had any experience with this?  Should I leave this job to the pros, or can I
tackle it with some limited shadetree experience?  My main concern is the
limited wiggle space under the van in my driveway.  I could put it up on
stands, but would this give me enough room, and access to handle the job?
Any answers are greatly appreciated.... thanks..
