Answer
Bob,

If the battery is fully charged and you get a click at the starter means the starter is in need of replacement.  Pull the air box and battery and you can see the starter, from above.  You do not even have to get under the car.  Also, get a Haynes Book for all the steps to change it.  But, there are only two bolts, the battery wire and a small start wire.  With the air filter box and intake hose out of the way you will see the starter.  I remove the battery for more room and it has to be disconnected anyway...
