As far as the battery and the terminals I’ve double checked all those components. Would you be able to tell me where the ground wires are, I see one off the transmission. I’m on my phone and don’t have access to the manual atm. (Edit got to the manual here are all the grounds) holy hell!

Can anyone also clarify how this starter actually comes out? I seen the manual it said to remove the exhaust from the intake manifold then to the back, but I haven’t done that yet as I suspect I don’t have the right tools to remove from the manifold (seems to be at a rough angle if you go from the bottom unless you have some super long extension and a lift) I assume these bolts been heat cycled a million times and I don’t have an impact either. I’ve freed the starter from the two bolts but can’t orientate it in anyway way to get access to the positive and negative terminals. Let alone find the space to actually pull it out.
