You can usually access them with a 6 point socket and an extension long enough to reach past the back of the starter. Sometimes it's easier with an even longer one that reaches past the crossmember. Make sure the socket is on securely because that bolt will round off easily and then you have big problems.

I use an indexable head ratchet to go around the starter. Hammer has the easiest and cheapest way. Since most people have an extension and ratchet.

Those are handy ratchets. I have a plastic handle Matco that I use all the time.

You will also find out that after it breaks loose, you can remove it with your fingers, That really P---es you off.
