Starter trouble

Hello friends!

I am trying to replace my starter.  I have an 80’s CMC kit, 1971 Chassis and 1972 engine (both Super Beetle donors).  

When I look at what I need to do to disconnect and in my reference material it shows two bolts that need removed.  But when I look at my starter set up... that doesn’t seem to be the case. 

I’ve got two issues:

1) My starter looks different? Or is different? ...and I’m trying to remove it   

2) No matter whether different or not access is TERRIBLE BEA5407A-FF3A-4F35-B79D-1B2AA21BE9FC9B90F269-1214-4548-8E5F-E91D646BD68A

Above you can see I removed one Nut  (bottom circle).  The top yellow circle is where I suspected the other “bolt” according to the mechanics guide, should be40843488-725C-4CCA-B3F3-302AF624B0AF

view above is the other side   Really hard to take the photo... let alone gain access to the part

Can someone please help me?

Thanks for reading.
