The starter is on the right side of the engine closet to the front of the vehicle. the book gets 1.0 hrs to do the job so it doesn't seem that difficult to do. Start by disconnecting the negative side of the battery, here is a generic guide to help you step by step with instructions in the diagrams below to show you how on your car.
