Im trying to replace my starter in my 96 acura 2.5tl and I have been working on it for about 3 days. I spent 2 days on the 17mm outide bolt and now I got the old starter out by by disconnecting a few hoses and useing a pry bar, but now I cannot get the new one in. if anyone has any suggestions that would be great.
Do you have to remove the rear intake manifold bracket?

Above link will take to Starter Sticky page where a post by myself addresses your question/s. Yes, you have to remove the brace. Suggest purusing the entire thread.

good luck
