I also got lucky with the small t30 bolt on top of the starter, once I got it out, I noticed it was a 5mm Allen head bolt?!?

Thanks again for the great writeup!
How much was the Bosch starter? Any problems with it so far? The oem one is like $500 online and I believe I'm having a starter issue so looking for possible parts right now.
