I have a 2001 Merc and need to remove the starter. Took off the two facing bolts but there appears to be bolt under the starter that I cannot figure out how to get to, much less remove. Any help would be appreciated!

Just so you don't think no one's listening...
I did one of those a while ago but I don't recall anything out of the ordinary. Two more posts and you can post a pic.

When you put the starter back on, be sure to hit the helix on the bendix shaft with some grease.
They have a habit of sticking, making the starter run as a generator and burning up the cable.
