Help.. Can't get the starter out!

I have a 96 Explorer that I'm trying to replace the starter. It won't come out between the oil pan and fwd. diff. Any ideas on how to get this out? Thanks

You did better then me. I had no luck getting that upper mounting nut off the starter.
How did you get that upper mounting nut off the Starter motor? I gave up after trying to remove it for 2 hours. There was no room to move the retchet handle from the bottom or from the top. Everything was on the way blocking it.
I am not looking forward to do this now since even you had the nuts out, it still wouldn't come out. What a PITA job.
