Successfull starter replacement warrants Jack Olsen style portrait.
Dirty, nasty, filthy job, but quite satisfying. I will stop calling myself "newby" and graduate to "somewhat experienced".
I think sometime during the top bolt removal I got to second base with my 70T. I would put it on par with one handed bra removal in high school. Ulrich

On my 1985 Carrera all it really takes is the "over the top of the transmission" hug. I had to reach over the transmission with my right hand to get to the top bolt. I got a lot of practice because the first rebuilt starter was defective and I got to R&R it right away. That can cause a lot of cussing.

No need to get to second base, a polite hug will do, especially if you have
1. A flexible ratchet 2. A longish 10mm allen socket, with round (ball) end, 3. A wobble extension if needed.

The upper bolt needed an 8mm socket in my case. Maybe because it's a 70?.
