There is. The starter's on the right-hand side of the car. Look between the firewall and the fan shroud on that side, and you'll see a 17mm nut. That's the top nut holding the starter in, and you might need to clamp a pair of vise-grips to the head of the bolt to get the nut off. It is in possibly THE hardest place in the world to maneuver a pair of vise-grips into.
