Over the last 3 months my starter started to turn slower and slower until it died today. After an hour of rest, it will slowly turns once or twice again and then die.
The starter is located next to the oil filter on the bottom of the engine. Is there any way I could remove the starter from the top?
Advanced thanks for your suggestions.

You need to crawl under the engine to locate the starter. It is close to the oil filter.
