Starter replacement
 

Anyone know how to get the top bolt for a starter, out on a 2008 saturn astra xr ? Seen a video of a guy changing his starter but was vague with top bolt

Can any of you astra folks help him out?

No luck on YouTube?

You need a universal to get on it.

Whats a universal ?

Universal Joint

I've heard some people call it a swivel joint too. It's all the same.

Oh true , I actually did buy a set, just not enough space, seems I need to move a whole lot of parts to get to it properly. I'm going to try ratcheting wrench with a flex head

If you post a few pics, 1 straight on and the others from various angles, All of them sufficiently far back for us to get perspective, someone may be able to suggest an approach.
