I have done all the first requirements to replace the starter motor, but I cannot undo one mounting bolt, it seems to be almost inaccessible.

Welcome to our world. - - - - - LOL
I do not know what is in the way that makes you say that, but you just have to either remove whatever is in the way or use special tools to help access it.

It is the fire wall that is in the way, It seems as if you need a " right angled " spanner to undo it, I have tried for days and all sorts of ways and nothing has ever stumped me like this.
Short of cutting a hole in the fire wall, I don't see any answer. Any advice gladly taken. Thanks Jann
