Newb question here, but assuming you don't have access to a fork lift, how do you raise the front end? Couple jack stands?

 

Did same as ryanB. 3hrs. Note, the upper heat shield is accessed in the engine bay. Right side of battery compartment. Unscrew one bolt and get a good grip with both hands and pull up to overcome two clips. The rest of the heatshields down in wheel well, three pieces come apart and slide out after removing all the fasteners. Figuring that out took most of my time.

 

Hey there - thanks for the write-ups!
I'm about to replace the starter on my '07, LR3 HSE but wonder how the Pure Energy replacement starter has held up for anyone (KTM_525)? It's definitely the cheapest out there but is it worth it...
