starter removal/installation

well, ive been having problems with the car turning over, i thought it was cuz it has been below freezing all damn winter, the colder it got the worse it got...well, i guess thats not it

when i hit the starter it seems to jiggle something to make it click, and sometimes it even sparks(woah) i called my mechanic buddy and he told me it sparks cuz the starter is bad, he gave me an explanation but i cant really remember lol... this is when the starter refused to turn over...so i got a new one.

well, i go to pull the starter out and the top bolt is almost impossible to take off, what would i be able to do to get this bolt off?

pictures/videos would help alot, ive read alot about using extensions and a swivel adapter but i am not really understanding this method..

HELP PLEASE!

1989 n/a supra automatic.
