Every diagram of every starter I have seen shows two bolts coming off the flywheel housing, and the starter fits over those bolts and is tightened down with a washer and a 17mm nut.
Situation: I can find the lower right nut [the one visible if looking from the front of the right rear tire][right = passenger side, left = driver side]. It was easy to remove.
I cannot find the upper left nut. When I crawl under and wrap my hand around the starter to reach for the upper left nut, I cannot locate it. There is something there but it is more square in shape, about 1/2 to 3/4 inches square and curved or rounded on one side, and it is built up taller than the lower right bolt [ maybe a 1/4 inch taller.
Can someone tell me how to remove this starter?
Can someone tell me what is going on in the area where the upper left nut should be?
I need an answer fast - my daughter needs the car to go back to school next week!
I would prefer to take this starter off in one piece.
