Ok I was already to take my Exhuast apart to Replace starter being as I had read many post Re: starter Replacment, just that as stated in all post the the bolts on the exhuast where very tight. So I released the starter from it's position and started messing with it and if you pass it hand to hand you can take it out the front of the engine near Radiator. I had to replace it 3 times (1st time to replace, 2nd time I left it loose and Broke Housing, 3rd to replace broken Housing)and I never took off the Exhuast. So if you want to try It, I think all I took off was front Skid plate. So it's your Choice.
