Starter removal for my 93 S-10 Blazer

After removing the two bolts, there doesn't seem to be enough room to move the starter back far enough to be able to drop it down. Do I have to remove something else to get it out?

Someone told me I have to take 4 bolts off to remove the cover for the flywheel housing to get the starter off. Is this true?

Hello,

You must start by raising the truck in the air and disconnecting the battery.
