Hey thanks guys! Chief, I believe you are right. The big square mount needs to come off to make the starter touch the engine. I do believe they are lock tited... I heated one then used a drill and got it out... (after I tried a philips head screw driver) The other 2 are miserably stripped... nothing could make them budge.. I believe my new problem is getting the stripped screws out. There is no was I can reuse them now so I just need to get them out. They are stripped extremely bad.. I'm stupid and tried the drill after they were stripped which tore them up. I can not get any traction now.
