Sorry, I haven't replaced one on a Mustang, but usually there are two or three bolts holding the starter on along with a power wire and ground. Can you change it from the top on a stang? If not, when you go under the car, it will be at the rear of the engine so it can engage the flexplate/flywheel (idk if you're auto or not). Then you can take it to Autozone for a free test and make sure it's really the problem.
