Hello. This morning I purchased a Pocket bike from Kijiji used. The owner said it was in working condition except for the fact that it needed a new starter coil. Since I am very new to all this small engine stuff(or even large engine stuff), I would like some help/a tutorial for how I would go about placing in a new starter. I have been told many times it's very easy, but I don't know which bolts I need to un screw. Any help is apreciated.
Starter coil swap out help.

first of all you would need to take off any plastic covering the engine. then find the starter. it will have a wire or 2 running to it. most of the time they're on by 2 bolts. unscrew them and take the starter out. when putting the new starter back in, you might need to wiggle it around for the gears to mesh. its not as hard as you think
Well I just came back from the garage where I tried unbolting it... I think the bolts are stripped. Is there any way to open it now? I was thinking that you can cut a slit in the top and use a flat head to un screw it, but I'm not sure I have any thing to do that with. Any help?
Well I got two of the three out. The problem is, I'm having trouble with that top one and when I try to take an angle grinder to it, well I can't get it to fit properally so I ended up slicing the top portion off. Is there any way to get it off a different way? And sorry, I don't have pictures as it's currently in my friends garage.

Is it a hardened steel bolt?
Looks like it. But then again I cut through it with the angle grinder like cheese. I'll see what I can do with a drill.

If it is hardened steel, I don't know if your drill will get through it. I would take it easy, and use cutting oil.
