its pretty easy, I just changed my starter 4 times this week haha....

Do u have a racheting wrench? That's probably your best way of doing it.

I don't know what you are having problems with but both bolts are fairly easy to get to from the side or the top

its doable from under the car. patience is the name of the game.

If you don't want to change that shit out in the parking lot attack the starter with a hammer and drive it to where you can more easily work on it.

thanks for all the responses. my starter is shot and in my complex push starting isn't doable. the way I got it home was goin over 5mph down a hill and poppin lol. I don't know how different it is in a ka but the sr is a bit of a pain from the top. i'll definitely hit up the ratchet though. thanks
