Wow, must be hard to get to the starter on those...2/3 of the cars I've owned needed the starters replaced, and I changed them myself...IIRC the worst was only about an all day job (mostly because I was not making it as easy as it should have been). DIY auto work sucks once it is cold enough to need a coat/gloves and or it has snowed. I try to save a late fall weekend for a once over/preventative maintenance session to try to head off all issues likely to need attention before spring.
