starter replacement DIY soon but need help

hi folks.
Since I got my car I havent change the starter yet.
I know it will fail sooner or later and may as well replace it now than it fails.
My question is, does anyone have a DIY starter replacement walkthrough?
If not then I think Id like to make one for the 2.5 model.
I need help where to start. Where is the starter located on the 2.5TL?
Id looked at the parts catalog pics and cant picture where it actually is. So help folks?

Starter is always on the bell housing somewhere since it engages the flywheel ring gear. The 2.5 starter is on the topsides behind the intake manifold, slightly on drivers side. The rear intake manifold bracket must be removed to access. An Acura shop manual is a good investment to help you maintain your Acura.

If starter is "clicking" when you try to start the starter can be repaired w/ new solenoid copper contacts. I posted source earlier.

good luck
