How do you remove the starter on a Cub Cadet GT 1222 (B&S engine)? I took off the plastic cowl and looking at the starter I see only one torque screw on the left. Is there a second screw I do not see. The pics of new starters show a plate with a hole for a screw on both sides of the starter. I loosened this one screw and it did not seem to loosen the starter. Am I missing something?

There are two mounting screws. One is easy to get to the other one is somewhat behind the starter gear, The briggs tool is a 1/4 drive wobble socket. I have removed that screw with a 1/4 drive ratchet, and a long extension with the starter gear turned so the flat side allows more clearance.
