But 1st I'll see if I can feel the fastener with my fingers reaching over the Trans. At least then I'll know for sure what I'm dealing with. Thx agn.
P.S., if it's a Barrel Nut, the only side it can be is 10mm, right?

l_turn9,
Look again at the picture provided by Karl. The starter is mounted at the 4-5-6 cylinder side. That is the passenger side for a LHD (left hand drive) car. Unless you have a RHD car, ignore this post.
To remove and reach the starter fasteners you have to be under the car passenger side or at the 4-5-6 cylinder side. I can not imagine how you could remove the fasteners if you are at the driver side for a LHD car.
A partial drop (optional) will give you an easy access to the starter upper fastener. Keep us posted. Thanks.
Tony
