Answer
The starter is behind the engine bolted onto the transmission.  Here are the steps to do the job:

1.  Disconnect the battery.
2.  Remove the air box and air intake bellows (several 10mm bolts).
3.  Remove the 12mm nut holding the positive battery cable onto the starter.
4.  Remove the starter solenoid connector.
5.  Remove the two 14mm bolts attaching the starter to the transmission.
6.  Remove the starter through the opening created by removing the air box.
7.  Install the new starter with the two 14mm bolts.
8.  Reattach the positive battery cable to the starter with the 12mm nut.
9.  Reconnect the starter solenoid.
10.  Reinstall the air box and air intake bellows.
11.  Reconnect the battery.
