disconnect the batt first off.
if it will make it easier, mark the dizzy position and remove it.
if you still have the factory air cleaner assembly, remove the big pipe that goes to behind the batt.
remove the big cable off the solenoid and the wee wire aswell.
from memory, a 14mm socket and prob a 6 inch extension and ratchet are what you'll be wanting to undo the starter bolts.
get an old motor bike mirror to help see where you need to go.
coolant hoses etc can be pushed out of the way.
