Default 1993 s-10 tahoe blazer 4.3L starter removal

hi, ive got the 4 bolts/nuts off my starter but cant seem for the life of me to get the starter actually out of the vehicle, is there a part that needs to be takin off that im not noticing, gonna try and take off the motor mount next time i have time to fix this, and see if moving the engine will give me that extra inch needed, but before then was wondering if anyone here had some helpfull advice as i didnt realy find any in the forums(might not have looked good enough) but it seriously seems that the 1993 s-10 blazer tahoe was built around the starter cuz i cant even get it close to leaving the bottom of the vehicle, this could just be hard cuz im not too mechanicly inclined but i dont know
p.s my haynes book is also a liar seeing as it said it was as easy as just removing the bolts and it would almost just fall out

You can do it without, pull it back as you lift it up, move it around a bit, you will get enough room to get it out.
