I changed the orig on mine about a month ago (at 158k). I'm all thumbs usually and I found it to be easy even though mine wasn't lifted then. If yours is lifted it will be even easier.

I just used a regular sized socket.
BTW, to the OP, to make your job easier since you'll be flat on your back underneath your Jeep, you'll need a 9/16 for the two starter bolts and the big wire, and an 8 for the small wire.
