there are 3 i believe...two on the bottom and 1 hidden up top...i think some people leave the top bolt out cause its such a pain in the a**..i think miles per hour almost recomends it..cause its just easier...

also..get a mini starter....if u get long tubes..sometimes the stock (or equal) starter will over heat...$.02

no first hand knowledge here...

but it's my understanding that the best way to get the evil third bolt off is from the front of the engine with a long extension(or a bunch of short ones)...
