Neal,
I looked at the situation under the car and it appears as though the top bolt cannot be reached from there. I think the starter is mounted too high on the 190 2.3 engine.

Maybe the air breather, oil filter and whatever else in covering the starter has to be removed to get to the top bolt.

If anybody knows the answer to the question: Do you access the top bolt from under the hood?... please reply. If so I can probably figure out what parts must be removed in order to get to it.

Any replies will be most appriciated because it is a must that I get this car back on the road.
