pulling starter on 6cx gte

Anybody got any experience pull the starter on this engine. outboard and lower bolts come off just fine and the inboard one is buried. looks like to me (I'm not highly experienced) that something is going to have to come off for me to get to that sucker.
Posting here on the somewhat realistic chance that I'm missing something.
The service manual gives no hints.
 
I can answer my own question now.
You can get to it if you remove the lube oil bypass filter, a couple of grounding wires, and part of the transmission oil cooler. My former mechanic said he did get to the bolt once with two short extensions and two swivels.
All I know for sure is that at one point there was one dumb design engineer working for Yanmar.
