Earlier I was going to work and when I turn the key I just hear a click. I Checked the battery and connections and they are good, tapped on the starter and the car turned on. Went to order a new starter and I was taking it apart, took the battery and tray out, moved coolant hose, took air filter out, and I took the 14 Mil bolt on the right side, now I took off the 12 mil bolt that held what seemed to be a ground on the back of the starter. I can't seem to find the other bolt that holds the starter in, I see one, but it seems hard to get to and idk how to get it out. It's on the left side of the other bolt I took off here, , Is there only 2 bolts that hold it in? And this other connection, do I just pull it out? Don't wanna rip anything lol, here it is, . Thanks for your replies. This is my first starter replacement and I'm doing it alone lol. Btw It's an automatic transmission.

The other bolt you need to remove is lurking in the 1st pic. Gold bolt...along the wire harness.

There are 2 14mm head bolts holding in the starter. The other fasteners are for the power wire/signal wire.

I don't think you needed to remove the 12mm head bolt that you described.

First disconnect the negative battery cable.

Pull off the smaller wire that connects to the starter. It just pops off. Its a connector.

The other wire is power directly from the positive battery terminal so its always hot. After confirming you removed the negative cable, remove that. There is one 14mm head mounting bolt and one 17mm mounting bolt.
