Be sure to disconnect the battery before beginning the repair.

Definitely one of the easier jobs. I had to purchase the 18" extension for my 15mm socket. I of course thought that wasn't needed and tried from the top. What a mistake, I started accidentally yanking hoses out and removing hoses and I still couldn't get the bottom bolt off.

If you follow pelican's instructions it's straightforward.

Autozone special.. $134 with $50 core exchange. It took them 1 day to get the part in.

People have posted both in this thread. Did you bother to look at those posts? Everything you've asked for is contained in those videos and writeups. Here's a link to the pelican article which has been referenced. If this looks too confusing or difficult, bite the bullet and take it in to a shop. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/Boxster_Tech/83-ELEC-Starter_Replacement/83-ELEC-Starter_Replacement.htm&ved=0CCYQFjACahUKEwjL-5fXpvDIAhVB1CYKHdkUCNs&usg=AFQjCNE-hRacdzXIB7_bN9vLSAmZ--9arA&sig2=KczwjeX4e8sM-0BzLy24XA
