Default Tips for starter replacement?

Going to do it over the next few days, whenever I can find some spare time. Just looking for any tips or things one should be aware of. I found a couple posts on this by searching and they seemed to indicate it would be a piece of cake. TIA for any input.

It is really easy. 2 15mm bolts and it is out. Nothing complicated about it.

There is no 'tricks or tips". Real easy. No shims envolved either.

Don't forget to unhook that battery first!

Do you think the stock one went out cause of headers on the car? I am pretty sure this is what happened to mine, lately I've been having to shove a cane down there to knock it around and it will eventually start up <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" />

Where did you buy the new starter and the heat shield?

Alex, actually I believe it is heat from the passenger-side turbo that got to it. I got the starter from Valvegod (Shaun Carter) here on the board. I haven't ordered the heat shield yet...still working on that.
