You will need to disconnect the battery and raise the car up safely. Here are a couple of guides to help you get the job done.

Next the starter is a little tight to get out but hang in there and you can do it. Here is another guide to show you what you are in for when doing the job. Also some diagrams (below). The starter must come out from the bottom.
