Its a Pain to get the 3rd Bolt.. If you have alot of Extensions/Swivels you can do it There are 2 Visible bolts and the 3rd is at the Top Hidden....

when you get them all out, dont put the top one back in. just leave the bottom and the middle bolts and it will be fine.

I always put the 3rd bolt back in. It may be fine for some, but in my head this is a high torque starter motor that has to crank my car and I'm afraid it may start to shear or warp only 2 mounting points, but yeah get yourself a long extension and a swivel. Two you can get at from the bottom the other you may have to reach and get with the extension.
