Need HELP to remove bolt on starter!!
Hi guys,
i have a '99 A4 1.8t Quattro.
I am in the middle of replacing the starter and have a serious problem.
I cannot figure out a way to remove the top bolt connecting the starter to the bell housing. It is bolted on from the back!!
The bottom bolt was no problem as it is from the front.
This is the last bolt before I can take the old starter off the car and put the new one on. please help if you can!
Thanks!
Aaron

It appears that the cat is in the way (but i could be wrong). The space back there is very VERY tight. I can get a 16mm socket and a 3/8'' ratchet on it but there is no way to apply enough torque to the ratchet to break the bolt free.
there has got to be a better way...
