If, after you perform the mentioned tests and you determine that the starter is @ fault, it can be removed without removing the engine.
I used a long extension /Universal joint coming in from the front to remove the 2 nuts on the starter after removing the air shrouds that are in the way. It’s not a 5 minute job, but can be done in frame.
Matt has a special bent box wrench he uses; there is a write up earlier on it.
