First thing to note. Unplug your battery. It should be two bolts and it comes right out. New one goes back in. Wires go back in the same place.

Essentially this ^^

Unplug your battery, 12 mm wrench or socket to disconnect the battery wire at the starter, unplug the other wire, then a 17mm to remove one bolt and one nut. It's not difficult.

If your old starter is OEM keep it and rebuild it.

Ok and what is the easiest angle to access the back bolt and should I use swivel sockets

Lay on your back, crawl under the Cruiser and look up. No need for swivel sockets, just use a normal ratchet or long wrench. Upper bolt is a little more difficult because you have less room but it's not that bad.

Since I’m on here, I checked my CEL with a paper clip and it gave me number 23. Anyone know what that pertains too?
