2016 camero lt STARTER REPLACEMENT HELP

I can not get this damn starter out.

I have:
- removed the 2 bolts (one longer than the other)
- removed the small pos heat shield ( 3 bolts)
-removed the canister / exhaust pipe from the engine (4 bolts)
- removed 1 bolt of the 2 bolt electrical strip thing

I tried prying off
i tried turning car on to dislodge it
i tried hitting it with a hammer

no luck :(

anyone have any insight?

the ONLY gen 6 video i found was very useless with the guy whom has the after market headers and puts it on the lift.

im desperate

This is the 2.0L turbo engine?

My car is an SS, and brand new, so I've not had occasion to take it apart, but looking at a photo of the starter from RockAuto, it looks like there are two additional holes that I suspect are for dowel pins, right next to the bolt holes that hold it on the bell housing.

Have you tried pulling the starter toward the front of the car? You may have to encourage it by prying it away from the bell housing with a screw driver or something.

The two bolts holding the starter to the bell housing appear to be same length based on pictures in the repair manual.

This is the 2016 camero lt v6


There are 2 bolts that face the nose of the car and 1 bolt that faces the ass of the car. The green arrow is the "3rd hidden bolt"* I believe all 3 are a 15mm

THE STARTER WILL COME OUT EASY AS **** IF ALL THREE BOLTS ARE OFF!!!! DO NOT HAMMER AND FORCE IT OUT!!!!

I also took out the exhaust canister completely disconnected the 2 o2 sensors and took that bitch out
