Pretty simple:

- Remove negative terminal from battery
- remove 13mm nut with the 12V line to the starter
- unplug the "50" terminal from the back of the starter
- I think it is a 6mm or 7mm allen key for the two bolts that hold the
starter in place

That's about it - other than holding your tonge just right as it is in a
awkward place!
