Never replaced starter on accord but all starters are pretty much the same. Now assuming that you have already located your starter on the vehicle.First you want to disconnect negative battery terminal. When you remove the old starter pay attention to where the wires connect to so that you put them on the new starter the same way. There will be 2 probably 3 bolts holding the starter on. Remove those bolts and take starter off. Simple as that, and installation is the exact opposite of removal. I hope that is the answer you were looking for.
