Its on the bell housing. You have to go in through the front of the engine with a long extension. At least thats how i did it. Actually i thought all the bolts go into the bell housing? Dont take my word for that last part though wait til someone else comments.

I could have sworn that my starter doesn't even have a 3rd bolt hole. Either way, you don't need it as I am only running two bolts.
