How do I change a 1997 Buick La Sabre Starter?

I just bought a 97 Buick La Sabre and the starter is in a difficult position. What steps would make this easier to remove and replace? Thanks|||disconnect the battery, remove the oil filter and the oil pressure sender, remove the 3 10mm headed bolts that hold the plastic shields to the bell housing, remove the starter wires and push them up to the exhaust manifold then remove the 2 15mm headed bolts from the starter. Pull the starter up and out of the bell housing then forward out past where the oil filter was. Reverse the procedure to reinstall.|||raise front of car and support. remove front cradle bolts to lower cradle keep jack under cradle remove nuts on engine mounts to lower cradle, support engine so cradle will drop far enough to remove starter. easier than it sounds
