Exclamation starter removal on 85 2LT diesel

I've got to pull my starter from my 1985 2LT Diesel. I have the bottom bolt removed, but the top one is a major PITA!! Do I need small hands or a special wrench to get it un-done? Is there an online guide on how to do this? Any tips or considerations?

cheers,
Jeff

id say small hands. find a tiny redheaded mechanic and force him into doing it or you'll run him over. haha. yeah ud need tiny hands. only thing i dont like bout yota trucks compared to fords or chevys: not nearly as much work space.

An extension may help. Have you removed the access panel in the wheel well?
