Technical 1950 Chevy Starter help

I need to pull the starter out of my 1950 216 Chevy deluxe. I've located the two bolts and I'm having trouble getting a wrench into the top bolt location. Very small opening to the bolt. Anyone have any tips? Thanks

 

Socket, two extensions, ratchet.

 

Ok thanks I'll try that.

 

It was pain on the ***, but you can do it.

 

I got the starter out and replaced the starter drive, got it back in. A socket won't fit in there, there's an offset, the nut is kinda behind the starter body. Anyhow, I grinded down the sides of an 11/16 wrench so it would fit and turn and 30 min later, success! She starts great now. Thanks for the nudge.

 

Back when changing those in a shop was a daily occurrence "starter wrenches" were pretty common. I'd go with what Devin1950 Suggested and modify a wrench to do the job and then stash it in the box so you have it if you need it again.
