Looks like the exhaust manifold has to be removed to get starter out.

My info didn't say anything exhaust. I'd have to look at it. Take the negative battery cable loose first, safely raise and support the vehicle. Take the starter out from underneath. You have to take the electrical connectors and mounting bolts loose from starter. Some makes and models, I have to turn the starter completely verticle then work it through a small opening. Other models, I have to loosen the exhaust. Whatever is easiest for you.
