Easy. Heck, even I the mechanical idiot coulda helped you do it when I was in Minn. for thanksgiving!

You'll want to know about the trick of putting a hose clamp around the head of the bolt in the upper right corner (looking from the back end to the front) to keep it from rotating - the hose clamp screw will catch on the starter and keep it from turning, allowing you to tighten/loosen it no prob from the engine side.

And while it is out change your #1 and #3 sparkplugs, and hte starter bushing whether you need to or not. Easy to do with the engine out, less than $10 in parts, and a *royal* pain to do wiht the engine in.
