On the passenger side of the car you will notice the transmisson connecting to the engine. you will see a black shield made out of plastic being held on by one 10mm bolt. Look directly about it there should be the starter and you will see two 15mm bolts one shorter then the other.

Yeah follow his advice u should find them also the bolts are a golden color on mines not normal gray color. Also i picked up a start from autozone i had to go to GM and get a longer bolt the starter needs 2 long bolts instead of 1 short and 1 long.

thanks guys, I never needed to drop my starter. I held the pulley from spinning while my buddy cranked on the puller. came right off. today has been good. the pulley came off and the ups man brought me this box with a big bumpy stick in it.
