First of all disconnect the battery then take the plastic air intake pipe off so you can see the starter better. Disconnect the main power cable from the starter (12mm nut) & then the other wire which is just a push on spade terminal. Then remove the rear lower bolt first, 14mm head, you can't actually see the bolt as its under the rear of the starter. Best to use a 3/8 drive socket & extension as it is a tight fit. Then remove the front 14mm head bolt.

Yer, it is a tight fit for that rear bolt but as long as you use the 3/8 drive socket set you should be fine. Also use a 3/8 strong bar/power bar, ratchet will fit but its a lot easier to start undoing it with the power bar
