Answer
Hi Rene,

What he'll need to do is remove the BLACK (ground) from the battery, then remove any exaust pieces in the way for the starter. Once this is done he'll need a 1/4 or 5/16 Ball Allen 6" long. If you are unsure what this is, go to a sears or local tool shop and ask for it, they should be able to help you. (its an allen wrench on the end it has a ball in the shape of an allen wrench so the tool can be tilted to one side) Then remove the 2 bolts on both sides of the starter, unplug the trigger wire, and slide the starter out! Viola!

Hope this helps!!
