You have to pull the starter and outer primary cover. It is an easy job tho or at least the one on my 04 was.

I replaced my stock one with this one and it is a little beefier.

It is really a simple job. The SM outlines it very well. It is one of the jobs that is pretty hard to mess up.

I am considering replacing my stock starter, after the 103" Stage II makes for a hard start, with a Spyke starter.
I COULD do the compression releases, but I think a better starter is the way to go. You don't put compression releases in a car when you bump up the compression.
