The starter motor is a component located between the engine and the gearbox. First, remove the lower mounting bolt which has a 13 millimetre head.

Disconnect the wire by pulling it out from the starter solenoid and remove the final 13 millimetre bolt that connects the gearbox to the starter motor. Move the starter motor away from the gearbox, wiggling it a bit and prying until it is removed.

You can use a screwdriver to pull out the starter motor; once pulled out, remove the bolt from it, and thus the starter motor can be considered removed from the vehicle.
