Oh yeah that makes a huge difference. Good luck and make sure you are using the right socket.

I was. Perfect fit. Seems someone either REALLY didnt want the starter to come out... Ever and tightened it extremely too tight or put red locktight on it or something. Totally unreal and completely frustrating. I might just try to cut it off somehow and deal with it later.

Ok, so i couldnt get a grinder or cutoff tool in there to get to the bolt, so i said screw it and just took apart the timing chain tensioners and swapped them out, leaving the bracket. Installed the gears and chain and ensured it was set properly. God help me if the starter goes out. Thankfully its a 5 speed!
