There is a third one, you will need an extension that is the full length of the starter. Put the long extension and socket over the top with your rt hand, left hand goes up over the back and guides the socket to the bolt..... make sure power is disconnected first.

Also make sure both wires are disconnected on the top of the starter. The main power wire and the smaller selnoid wire that is held on with a 5/16 nut. I found out the hard way about the small wire when the starter almost dropped but the small wire held till I got the small socket on the nut. I think the larger nut was an 11/16 nut, I think it was. Either way the bolt behind the starter is a pain to get to. I've done 3 starters and all of them were done at home, Fortunetly.
