Hey guys, I’m in the middle of a header install and I can’t seem to find the three 10mm bolts that hold the starter on that the Kooks instructions talk about?

There is one way up on top. I used a 1/4 drive 10mm socket with a swivel and a few small extensions to get it. It's the hardest starter bolt to get. Make sure you get that one first, so once you crack it free, you can take it out by turning the extension by hand.. If it's the last one, you'll have to use the ratchet the whole time.

On my 2019, there were only 2 bolts to remove the starter. The one you see right in front center of your photo (1) and then straight up above the starter that you get to from the transmission side (2).

Another pic from my own install that mostly shows the location of both bolts in same photo. From the transmission side, go straight up from the bottom bolt and you will find the top bolt.

Ahhh thanks guys! Finally got it...I figured the bolts would all be coming from the same side so it kinda threw me off. Mine had three bolts total, but they weren’t 10mm like the instructions state, they were 13mm.
