The top bolt on your starter is also one of the 4 bolts that holds your engine in. The nut (17 mm) is located behind the cooling shroud, it"s not easy to get to so a box ratchet wrench is needed. You'll notice the head of the bolt at the starter is round with a flat spot to keep it from turning while your working on the other end. DISCONNECT THE BATTERY FIRST.

How do you replace a starter on a 1979 volkswagen beetle Is there a bolt on top of the starter?

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.

The easiest way to get to the top starter bolt is with 12" extension and a 13 mil socket. You have to feel your way between the solenoid and the block. You can only take the starter off from the top if the engine is on a engine stand
