There are no tricks other than putting the vehicle on a lift so that you are able to get better access.

If there are no lifts available, then we need to use jack stands.

Here is a guide that will help with the starter replacement as there is good info in it:.

However, if you are not able to access it because of the drive shaft then I would just remove it.

Please see the info below on how to replace the starter from the manual.

Please run through this and let us know what questions you have. Thanks
