I am confused about how to get the starter off. The bolt towards the front of the engine too close to the engine case. How do you get it off without taking off the transmission pan? I need to replace the starter. The car has been sitting up for a while. I checked the engine to see if it had locked up. I turned the engine to verify that ti is free to move. I assumed that the is locked up since it won't turn. Please! Advise?
