Lol, thats cuz you've taken it off 100 times. I'm the same. It took about 2 hours the first time I did it. Now I can take it off and put it back on in 10 mins. I just did it from under the car. The bottom bolt is easy, but the one on the top of the bellhousing is the hard one. Just reach your hand up on top and feel around, find out where you need to go. Then take the ratchet and put it up there handle first (it'll help cuz theres not much room to move around), then just mate the socket with the head of the bolt and go from there. If you didnt already get a new starter, make sure you get the 89+. It's threaded so you don't need the nut. Just screw the bolt into the starter. It makes the job 100 times easier.
