Starter replacement

I need some help with replacing starter.I cant start car and already replaced transmission switch and month later car cant start.Put new battery and same problem so ordered used started on Ebay. I found video about starter replacement but they only show part of procedure.I removed brackets in front of starter and was able to remove bolts but now I am having issue pulling it out since there is vacuum hose in front and dont know what it is and if I can unplug it.Hoping if that works then I can remove starter.So need help identify it and if anyone has any other suggestions how to remove starter and install another one as there are no manuals or videos about it. Ill include picture of tiny hose in front of it.Also cant see whats attached to starter underneath,looking at replacement one looks like something clips to it.Is there anything else I need to do beside unplugging 2 cables and reusing gasket from old one?

Workshop manuals are readily available - for example, https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/404863624493 - I wouldn't start a job like the Starter without the manual in front of me 😁

Just disconnect the vacuum hose and pull the starter out.
That hose appears to be related to the front engine mount?
If unsure, trace the bottom & see if it tracks back to the engine mount.

Someone recently posted a link to a site that contained the RL's service and diagnostic manual as well many other manuals for various makes and models.
