83 300SD Starter change

Looks like I am in need of a starter change....woke up this morning and my 83 300SD will click but not turn over. It is usually sluggish on cold mornings, but early this AM I turned the key to nothing. I have a starter coming in and wanted to know if there are any special techniques or tools required to change this part? Looks like I am going at it from the underside, any help before I get dirty would be appreciated.

Sagging rear end on 1986 300SDL ??

I realize that rear ends tend to sag with age, but there are relatively simple operations for that problem. With my 300SDL, it seems to be a more difficult problem. I continue to sag even after replacing my differential mount and having OK shocks on the back (i didn't change them, but they only bounce once after compression.) Should i replace them anyway (they probably have not been replaced in a while)? or are there other common wear parts that i have neglected to replace? I would really like to see tops of my rear tires.....Thanks for the help.
