lol no wayyy, easiest thing i ever did in my life. you just have to take the battery and its tray out. then whatever is attached to the starter you have to swap over to the new one. theres only 2 bolts holding it on the trans. you might need a breaker bar, or a piece of piping to put on the ratchet or wrench you use to loosen the bolts, but once theyre broken free, they come out easy.
