Default Clutch Problem

Allright, I'm in the process of replacing my clutch. So far I have removed the driveshaft, shifter, exhaust and transmission. I have all of the bolts removed from the housing <u>except the top bolt on the starter</u> I have equal length headers which are somewhat in the way. Anyone no of any tricks to get this bolt off?

ok been through this!! you can't see it, so the best way to get it off is to get one of them super long broom stick size extensions, and come in from in front of the passenger side wheel. you'll need an extra pair of hands to feel the ratchet onto the bolt from underneath the starter,severe pain in the ***. good luck.

Thanks for the advice...I got the starter off, but I decided to go ahead and order a new one so I wont have to go through this again.
