If im correct there are two parts to a starter, a part that spins it and a part that sticks the gear out. One part can go out or stop working. To take the starter out if a pain in the a$$. I just took mine out in my 87 supra, I dont know if other models are that much different. To get the top bolt jack the car up get under it with a 1ft. to 2ft. extention and a swivel on the end. It should take a 14mm socket I think. With a light showing though the top if you look between the transmission and the drivers side fire wall from under the car you can see the top bolt of the starter. Put a open end on the starter side of the bolt and break it loose with the extension and swivel from under the car. note: you will have to have 2 people this, and make sure you put some kinda lube on it to help break it loose.
Hope this helps

You have a rhd so i think it will be on the left side of the car passenger side
sorry
