Are you guys serious? Jacking up the motor, loosening the motor mount, taking it to a shop?!?! Why does everyone have a problem with this bolt? Is it just me or am I the only one who can get the starter out in under 5 minutes?

Bolts easy. Like stated above, take off the wheel and you can see the bolt, or lay on you back with you hand going around the starter and on the boltand guide the extension with the socket to your hand and hold it on the bolt. Attach rachet and loosen bolt. done. 10 mins tops.

13mm i just took it off tonight. Im tropping my tranny as we speak. as stated above, it is easy to take the top bolt out once you get the right set up. whether it be with extentions or thru the wheel well.

RE: question about starter removal
whoaaa don't leave the bolt out. do it right. drink a beer or two if you get frustrated, but once you do it once, it will be a breeze the next time. try to use 1/4" tools, they are smaller and easier to fit around. But, like stated, use a U-joint or two with extensions and you will get it. Try to hold a finger on the bolt while you find it with the socket. THEN connect the ratchet. Good luck.
