Ned, Thank you !! No one has said how you get to those starter bolts for removal. We are going after it now.. My son blew out clutch and we are doing a father son repair. We have removed exhaust, drive shaft and most everything, but that starter has halted everything. Now to get the starter out.
That top bolt is not visible from any angle.
See attached pictures

remove them from any angle possible. as for tools should be metric or standard octagonal heads. make sure you disconnect the battery so you dont cause a short or pop anything. took me 3 altenaters to learn that.
SOURCE: can't get a wrench on the bolts holding the starter
you have to use a 3/8 drive extention with 12mm swivel socket.

Have you taken out the cross members yet>? Get them out of the way and tilt the engine and tranny down a little in the rear, get a long extension on there and you should be able to get to them easier. Have you taken out the flywheel bolts yet? Get back with me when you get to them. Hope this helps.

There are a few methods of removing the crankshaft pulley but the best method and the safest one is by the use of breaker bar and a crank holding tool.
You can also have the breaker bar pinned to the ground while tapping on the starter. Be warned with this one. Make sure you know where the pulley spins other wise the bar would cause damage to the car.
Another method is by using and old serpentine belt around the pulley and a big strap wrench to hold it still. Use a bar or part of the frame to lock it then use a breaker bar to set it free or your wrench.
