    as i understand this, you're trying to pull the starter off and you've got the main power wire and two mounting bolts out but it's still attached?

    I do not know about this particular starter but there could be a third bolt between the starter and the block partially hidden from view or there could be a support bracket on the end of the stater supporting it to the engine block also maybe hidden. Just my experience with starters.

    Hello
    yes there is a third support bolt.
    hidden behind the starter.
    wonderfully

    Hopefully the battery has been dis-connected.
