Starter Motor removal

I need to remove the starter motor on my 2009 FL2, but I can't access the 3 bolts as there is a wiring loom in the way, can someone please tell me how to get the loom out of the way so I can access the bolts, its very thick and doesn't move much, I know it's a simple question but try as I might I can't see a way to get to them.

I seem to remember that last time i did this i used a socket on a short extension to "push through" the wiring from the right and access the bolts.

Disconnect the plug that goes into the top of the auto transmission, then towards the front of the transmission/engine (from memory) there is bracket where the loom is held onto the transmission, take the bolt out, that will make moving the loom a heap easier and will give you enough room to access 3 bolts on the starter motor.

This is the bracket I mean, it’s just to the right of the starter motor

Thank you, that makes sense. I am sure it will be a lot easier to get to the bolts now. Cheers.
