How to remove starter motor Nissan pintara 2L Front wheel drive?

It was buillt in 1990 and its an auto.

I have the 2 bolts removed and the manifold support bracket removed but I cant get the starter motor out, it will come out about 10mm then jams on something I cant see what else to remove or a way to move it to get it out.

I need to change the water pump so I need to lock the crank to undo the front pulley.

Cheers

    Can't help you with the starter, but if the crank pulley turns clockwise when the engine runs, you can put a socket and breaker bar on the bolt and get it snug against something. If you tap the starter, it will come loose. Disable the ignition first, as you don't want the car to run.

    ADDED: I just used a board and some heavy leverage. Use locktite on the bolt too.
