If you have it totally unbolted, you should just twist it, and drop it out. My starter in my 93 unbolts with 2 bolts going into the engine area, and then I have to unbolt the flywheel cover from the transmission. The flywheel bolts are the smaller 10mm bolts on the underside of the tranny. Two of them are easy to get to, the inner two are a pain in the neck.

would i be able to take it out if i remove the front part of the exhaust?

is it binding on something. you will have to remove the flywheel cover, and is it 4 wheel drive? if so try loosening the front drive line. hope this helps. i dont think you should have to loosen the exhaust manifold.

AFTER UNBOLTING THE STARTER, LIFT IT UP AND MOVE IT TOWARD THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. LET THE BENDIX DRIVE GEAR END DOWN FIRST. IT SHOULD DROP RIGHT OUT.

HAVE FUN, AND ENJOY , " STOVEBOLT"

What engine does it have? If it's a 4.3 then it should come right out. However if it is a 2.8 then you are in for some fun, like removing the solenoid and the wheel well!!!

Be patient and wedge it out.

It will get out.
