93 Accord LX, manual transmission, 4 door

I need to replace the starter and after looking under the hood it looks pretty simple. Does it come out with out having to move anything else out of the way? Any tricks for putting the new one back in? Thanks.

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
See Figures 1 and 2

Disconnect both battery terminals, negative first.
Disconnect the large cable from the starter motor; label and disconnect the wiring to the starter solenoid. Certain engine/transmission combinations have an engine harness secured in a clip on the starter or transaxle. Remove the harness from the clip and position it out of the way.

Remove the starter motor by loosening the attaching bolts.
To install:

To install, reverse the removal procedures. Tighten the starter-to-engine bolts to 47 ft. lbs. (64 Nm) on the Accord V-6 and 32 ft. lbs. (45 Nm) on other models.
Connect the wiring to the starter securely.
Connect the battery cables, positive cable first.
If it were any easier, it'd jump out into your hands...
