There’s no easy way to get leverage to get the bolt out. My neighbours son is a mechanic, he’s coming over tomorrow.
I actually googled the symptom and I’m not the only one. That felt a little better but not much.

Well I got the bolt and starter out. I stuck a trim tool on the underside of the bolt head and loosened with the ratchet. Took around 10 minutes to remove. New starter is in and works but I have to go to Flap’s tomorrow and get a new sensing wire connector. The old one won’t stay on the starter and it’s not easy to get at.
