i have the 3 solenoid wire connections undone, now all i have left to do is drop the starter but i want to make sure.. uh, you wouldn't happen know the size of the bolts, would you? they're pretty large..

They are 7/16ths. with a 5/8" head. Remove the harder to get at one 1st. which is the top bolt.
