Here's why:
* Accessibility: The starter motor is located on the passenger side of the engine, below the exhaust manifold. While tight, it's generally accessible without removing the engine.
* Removal Process: You'll need to remove the starter heat shield, the starter mounting bolts, and disconnect the wiring harness.
However:
* Experience Level: This is not a beginner-friendly job. It can be tricky to get at the starter bolts and disconnect the wiring harness, especially if you're not familiar with the car.
* Tools: You'll need specific tools for this job, including a breaker bar, sockets, and potentially a starter removal tool.
If you're not comfortable with this repair, it's best to take it to a mechanic.
