I can't find all the starter bolts. I'm sure I'm going to have to remove other items to get to the starter. Can you tell me what I need to remove and in what order please?

Hi,

There are two bolts that hold it in place. If you look at pics 2 and 3 below, I highlighted or circled the bolt locations from two different points of view.

Pic 1 is the very basic directions from my manual. However, here is a link you may find helpful:

Please make sure the battery is disconnected prior to working on or around the starter motor.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
