Starter Replacement- best guide?

[Silver4]

2013 RS Venture
I have gathered bits and pieces of info on doing this miserable job, but does anyone know of a start to finish clear instructions? I won't be taking the engine out but rocking it forward? Thank you

I got this post from a search on this site. I used an overhead block and tackle to lift the engine though. Not particularly a difficult job, but lots of parts to it and takes awhile. I just did mine on my 06 Vector along with replacing the stator, which was much more difficult. I didn't follow exactly this post, as I had a few extra things to do to get the stator cover off.

Hello All,
Wanted to share, as your posts and pictures have been immensely helpful. Here's the situation:
- End of season ride, shut down the machine on the trail, wouldn't do anything to start, grabbed jumper cables, no luck, towed home
- Using multi-meter, confirmed voltage coming from solenoid just fine, appeared to be a short in the starter, by testing with multi-meter at the load post of the starter (after draining oil, removing filter for access to starter)
- Start reading posts, amazed at the size of the job to replace the starter - freak out a couple of times!

Here's...
