I can not get to the nuts holding the positive cable to the solenoid. The motor was replaced it went from a right mount to a left mount. I cant get to it there is no room to get in there. The bolts are out of the starter. If you have any suggestions I would appreciate it.

You will need to undo the engine mount and lift the engine slightly to get the starter out.

Here is a guide to give you an idea of what you are in for when doing the job.
