Hi,
Replacing the starter isn't too difficult. It may be hard if you can't lift the vehicle. If you do, make sure to use jack stands as a safety measure.
To get you started, here is a link that explains in general how to replace a starter motor. You can use this to help guide you.

If you look below, I attached the directions specific to your vehicle. Take a look through them and let me know if you have any questions.
Let me know if this helps.

See pics below. Note: Make sure the battery is disconnected prior to working on the starter.
