Starter Problem?

I just got a 1990 F250 2 wheel drive with a 7.5l Gasoline engine. The truck's body is in rough shape and will be a nice challege.

The engine ran fine, started up just fine when cold but turned over realy slow when hot. But still, it started every time.

After a week, I got stuck at the local hardware store, it will not crank at all.

I replaced the battery with the proper one, the one that was in the truck was way too small.
I also replaced the solenoid

Now the truck makes a ratteling noise when I try to start it. I have gotten a new starter for it, but I have trouble getting the old one off. It seems like I have to remove the exhaust pipe to get to the top bolt.

Any suggestions on how to remove the starter?

Any suggestions on what else could be wrong with the truck?

Thanks

on a 460 the top bolt comes in from the backside through the bellhousing and threads into the starter. You shouldn't need to take the exhaust pipe off to get to it.
