Default starter ?'s

what is involved and how long does it take to change a starter on my car, it has a hard warm start up so i've narrowed it to the starter....i was told its like 4 bolts and a wire and thats all to replace it....sounds too simple.

its a straight bolt in. it will be a little difficult to get to the top bolt though. just take the top bolt out first, itll be alot easier that way. they are 1/2 in bolts.

the easiest way to get to the top bolt is with some long extensions from the front of the motor.
