I have a 2003 Accord EX. I'm wanting to know if there is an easier way, than to take off intake manifold. To get to the starter, that needs replaced.

Withour removing the intake manifold, even if you can remove the starter, you would not be able to take it out to put the new one in. You have to at least remove the manifold bolts without disconnecting some of the wireharness and pull the manifold out some distance to allow the starter to be removed..

Does a car starter need to be replaced after a certain period of time

No, starter only needs replaced if it fails and is tested to be bad.

What is the easiest way to change the starter on this car? From the top the air intake manifold has to come off, and I seem to be missing one step in removing it. From the bottom, it looks as if there is not enough room. Please help.
