Drivers side is on the inside of the top of the starter motor (2 bolts hold the starter in) the left side is in the same posotion just on the left side!! If you turn the gearbox upside down,where the bottom bolts were is where the top ones are.....HTH??

There are four bolts in total.

You reach two bolts by crawling under the car.

You reach the other two through the engine compartment: reach in past the fan housing.

You may need to undo the bolt on the drivers side of the dog house cooler so you can move it a bit to give you room to reach behind it.
