2005 Vauxhall Combi - Starter motor?

Vauxhall combi 2005 1300 cdti model. It has a faulty starter motor. I have got a replacement but was wondering how you get at the top bolt? Many Thanks.

remove fuel filter from bulkhead,swing it over onto engine,look down onto top of bellhousing on g/box you will see an oval grommet,remove this and the bolt is in there,yours should be a torx 45,think later models are 6mm hex,these must be the long hex or torx about 3'' long,usually have one up top for that bolt and someone dealing with starter under the van,keep pressure on the bolt while he draws the starter off the motor,drop the bolt or a tool and it is a g/box out job!good luck
