I've never done this before. Do have socket set and also jack but no stands and no hoist. Very limited space hard to remove the holding bolt for the starter.

Hello,

I would absolutely recommend not getting under a vehicle without it being supported properly on jack stands. There have been countless cases of people getting seriously injured and even killed by getting under a improperly supported vehicle. I have a few links for you to go to down below:

Please go through these guides and get back to us with what you are able to find out, please.

Thanks,
