need pic of starter*for 5.4L-4R100 tranny removal

[kirkmears]

hello i'm trying to remove starter and can't. another member of another forum suggested i remove the starter, but there's a difficult bolt that i can't seem to find on it that might be preventing the transmission from coming out. its apparently on the top of the starter. with headers installed, i'm in the blind. everything else seems to be unbolted to my knowledge. anything would help thanks in advance.-km

Lay on your back under the truck and slide your left hand around the starter till you feel the top bolt with your index finger. In your right hand have a 13mm socket on a 6 inch extension ready to slide on the bolt. A cold engine saves the fingers from burns.

When I pull the starter out of my F150 I remove the plastic inner fender in the wheel well. It makes the job way easier to reach the bolts.
