I know there are many different routes to actually unbolting the starter. I will share mine with you. Not saying my ideas are better, or worse than others, but it worked for me...
Let me back up and say that I thought I had a small coolant leak towards the back of the engine. Our gifted and talented @2001LC clued me in that I was probably had leaking at the rear coolant bypass. This pipe exchanges coolant between the heads. Since my heater Ts did not seem to be leaking, I thought he was probably correct and decided to replace the gaskets while I had the manifold off. This had the benefit of giving me more access to the starter bolts.
