Just changed the starter in my daughter's '97 Aspire, two days ago. It'll help if you go buy the replacement starter prior to removing the old one. It cost me a little over $100 with a $30 core charge. First remove the battery. You'll then need a 8mm, 12mm, and 14mm socket. Remove the two 8mm nuts holding the starter to the bracket. Remove the two 12mm bolts holding the bracket to the frame. Once their out, you'll have to clear the studs on the starter and pull the bracket out. Remove the two 14mm bolts that hold the starter to the block(look at replacement starter for position). Once these two bolts are out, undo the electrical connection (two wires) and the starter will come right out. Reverse the process for installation. It took me about 45 minutes to complete.

Undo is a verb.
No it is not a difficult job. You just undo the nuts on the solenoid contacts and release the wires being careful to note where each one goes back. Then there are three 13 mm bolts attaching the starter motor. Undo these and the starter will pull loose from the mount. Job Done!
With motor off unplug the battery. Then remove the wires from the starter. Undo the 2 bolts holding the starter in place and remove. Reverse procedure for installation.

Now you will see two bolts holding the starter in place and three wires attached to the solenoid on the top. After you remove the two bolts, you will be able to move your starter forward and out enough to undo those nuts holding the wires and your done

To locate the starter motor you open the bonnet then look between the radiator and the gearbox you will then see the starter motor the live wire coming from the battery goes to the starter motor so just follow that. The starter motor is held into the gearbox with 3 bolts and a bracket at the other end. This bracket needs removing before you undo the 3 main bolts as the starter wont come off with this bracket on.Make sure you know where the wires go when you put it back together
