Volkswagen: starter 1974 bus/camper, starter, removal


Question
I was wondering how to get to upper mounting bolt for the starter? Can it be done from below or is it accessible some other way? I been working on this bus and it was a little slow starting and now it wont turn over at all. I'm assuming it"s the starter, plus after trying a few turn overs of the key , the starter is warm to the touch.

Answer
Shawn,
 From inside the engine compartment, you need to remove the upper nut then the bolt can be pushed forward, or have a helper hold the nut while removing the bolt from underneath.  Check out this article, step 15:
