Ok i found the bolt. I thought racheting box wrenches were "IT" now..... I used one on that bolt and can back out the bolt only so far and then you bump into the this plate that seems to be just support for something..? it looks like a mini hood damper. I dont see what its use is.

So how important is that thing, and how important is that plastic dust cover on the starter. can i cut on either. does the one on the starter need to be replaced. I dont know if I can cut into that plate holding the damper looks pretty thick and tough for a drill bit or anything else I might have
