Is this starter on the outside of the engine so it can be installed by the regular home maintainance program mechanic?

Yes, starters are on the outiside of the motor and you should be able to replace it yourself.

Yes, this particular starter (remy 96103) is on the outside. Be aware that some starters are on the inside, like on cadillac northstar engines. It can be changed pretty easily as long as you have enough light and you get the car up high enough to be able to see and reach under there. There is not much room between the starter and the radiator (engine is sideways in these cars) but it is do-able.
