First time jumping into this engine. Im having trouble getting the starter off since it went bad.
My question is, where is the 3rd bolt to remove? I removed the bolt with the cover and wire, and the other long bolt that I could get to from under. Is the other bolt above this one? I think I can see it but have no idea how I would get to it without taking something else off. Do I get it it from under or top? If so what kind of tools do I need?
Thanks,
(yes i searched but couldnt find any 97+ DIYs)

its nearly top dead center of the trans. if you put your hand up there you should feel it. youll need a few extensions and 1 or 2 swivel/universal joints to get it off. its a pain in the *** and it took me awhile to get mine off.
also:
