Problem with Starter Removal *PICS*

Well I did a TB cleaning and then moved on to the starter regrease...that's where I ran into a problem. I can't get the starter off! I took off two bolts and the grounding cable, as mentioned on motorvate's site. Can anyone help me on this one, ASAP?

Behind the starter are two bolts that need to be removed for the starter to come off. Note: I have never heard of regreasing the starter, I hope you meant regreasing the motor next to the starter--- right!!!

yeah those aren't the two bolts you need to take off..

the two bolts you need to take off aren't visible in your pic and you will need a swivel joint and it's preferable to use a breaker bar (its tight) to get it out

Yeh all true, I was able to get the 14mm bolt out but din't have the right tools for the 17mm so I ended up not getting it out...
