87 240 wont start

When I turn the key it makes no noise at all. I can jump a wire from the battery to the starter and it will start right up, but i cannot find any faults in the wireing leading to the starter. Dose this mean its the solinoid?

Also To remove the starter how do I get to the 2 bolts holding it on? They seem to be in a very tight spot

Thanks alot

You have just tested the solenoid and it works. The solenoid sits on top of the starter so the lead from the battery goes to it.

If you hear nothing when you turn the key you have a fault somewhere between the starter switch and the solenoid.
