The flywheel has a recessed pocket on the under side that when rotated to the proper position will allow you to take the inner-most bolt out so that you can remove the starter. The outboard bolt is no problem at all. Just remember to remove one of the battery cables so you won't have to worry about shorting out a wrench while you are removing the cable on the side of the starter.
