Clutch Help Please!

I'm trying to drop the tranny and the starter won't come out due to a third bolt i thin. Does anyone know how to get it out.
Thanks

Tried that. How do you like the nt555's btw?

Loved them. Best street tire I had on the car. I got about 30-35k miles out of them and put on a 2nd set before I sold the car

^^^This...its a major pain to get the 3rd bolt out..even worse with long tubes. once you get it out, leave the 3rd bolt out. the other 2 will hold the starter in fine and wont ever have to worry about that 3rd one ever again

Tgat sounds like a plan keeping that third bolt out. What a pain this has been nothing but blood sweat and tears for nothing but a damn starter.

I never thought to leave that bolt out. I managed to get it back in. I think it was harder to get back in. If it helps I ran the socket then 3" ext then swivel then extension's all the ways in front of the wheel. Was easy at that point! All ya, I held the socket on while I had someone turn the rachet. Between getting that bolt out, uncliping the o2 harnesses( my forearm is kinda wide) and the top two bell bolts out, I wanted to stop. Funny thing is I work on construction equipment. I thought skid steers were a pain lol!

Going in from the front side of the k-member with a long 1/4 drive extension is the way to go.
