Did you bring the SM out through the top?

Got exactly the same problem with my starter. You need a 17mm socket with extension and a 17mm spanner. Take the bonnet off and find something to stand on this just gives enough reach. Then it's a fiddly matter of taking off the 3 bolts. One is a nut and bolt, one a stud and one a nut.  Did mine in about 3/4 hour last night at the cost of only one knuckle. I took the starter out of the top.

Don't forget to disconnect the battery.

Good luck.
