1993 Range Rover starter motor installation

I have an old 1993 Range Rover which needs the starter motor to be replaced.
The new starter motor arrived in the mail today, and I would like to take a shot at installing it myself as money is fairly tight right now.

Please note I am not a mechanic, but I am willing.

I was wondering if anyone had step by step instructions on how to detach the existing starter motor, and how to install the new one. Perhaps pictures/photos so I get a clear idea.

If you can assist I would be grateful.

Thanks.
