98 corolla starter problem

[ark40]

I did some searching around the forum but couldn't find anything with pictures. I think the starter on my 98 corolla is malfunctioning, the notorious click problem. The starter clicks but the engine doesn't crank. The battery is new so that can't be it. I go the Haynes manual but I can't seem to find any good pictures of how to remove the starter. One of the bolts is visible, it is right behind where the battery cable connects to the starter. But the other two seem completely inaccessible.

Any thoughts, tips, or pictures.

thanks in advance

Start by removing your negative battery cable. You can do this one of 2 ways, from underneath you can try and snake it out with some good swivel sockets, and or do it from the top and remove the intake. The intake comes off very easy.
