07 Fit starter replacement

Hey guys, I have a starter replacement question...
Should I remove the intake manifold for better access to the starter? Would it make the job go easier? I figured someone out there has replaced theirs, and I'm looking for the less stressful way to do it. I have a 2007 Fit Sport.

Thanks guys!!

I can't provide you any info other than if you decide to get it done at a shop, Pep Boys quoted me $106 for the labor to install their ProStart model with lifetime warranty.

You will have to remove air cleaner housing to access 17 mm bolt; 14 mm bolt requires bend 14 mm wrench with cheater; removal of lower intake will give you better access to the connectors.

Thanks for the info doctor J. That did look like the more reasonable way to go. I like to do my own work on my vehicles, and this is my first Honda. Figured better ask first than break something first.
