The only slightly difficult part of getting the starter replaced (at least
on my TD3042, is to get a straight shot at the lowermost fixing bolt.
Admittedly, if the exhaust pipe were not in the way, it could be a lot
easier. Usually, I go at it with a long extension which I run inboard of the
exhaust pipe.

Bob,
The original exhaust pipe is on my car #21934. R&R of the starter is
not difficult. Perhaps someone knows that earlier pipes were different?
