Way way OT. Mazda question

I have a '92 626 I4 and the starter is really getting hard to crank. The battery is good. So I guess its time to replace the starter. I can not find any instructions on how to do it or even where the starter is even located. Do any of you guys have an experience on this matter?

Thanks for the help on this OT!

The starter is located on the firewall side of the engine. To reach it you have to jack up the car and go in from the bottom. The bolts that hold it are reached from the OUTSIDE at the 2oclock position of the bell housing. Its not as easy as one on a ford but not to hard once you have the car up and you can safely get under it.

Thanks for the info, do you remember how many bolts there are holding it on?
