95 SC2 Starter

Anyone have advice on removing the starter on an SC2 95? It looks
like its secured with 2 bolts.....1 easily accessible from underneath
and the other impossible to reach from either side.....Am I
overlooking something or do you need to remove the intake manifold and
go in from above?

I changed mine. After removing the plastic cover, I loosened the
lower bolt(easy so far), then I had a look-see with a little
dental mirror & flashlight to find the other bolt from topside.
After spotting it, I tried removing it from topside using a
swivel extension on my socket ratchet wrench to no avail. Then,
using my next approach to the problem bolt, I had a friend,
topside, guide the socket onto the bolt head while I was
underneath feeding the socket( that was attached to a few short
length socket extensions) and going behind, and above, the
starter body and that did the trick. No way could I get any
other tools I had to get to that hidden bolt head. Good luck.

I used enough socket extensions to get the ratchet out into the wheel well
area, plus a swivel.
