Help replacing rear Knock Sensor

These are the two bolts that hold the starter on, not that easy to get at especially on a left-hand drive (I guess) with the steering column in the way. Remember to disconnect the battery first, the large wire, which is bolted to the starter, is the positive feed for the main motor. The small thin wire (also positive) activates the solenoid plunger/switch via the ignition switch, Sounds like you may have removed the end of the main motor cover exposing the brushes that make contact with the commutator. Should all go back together once the motor is off.
