  ANSWER (1)  
 

To remove the starter cotter bolt, remove split pin, and nut, washer etc, check under the engine mounting that the bottom of the pin is a round pin and not a bolt. Replace the nut loosely, to protect the thread.

Then using a brass or aluminium drift held on the the top of the nut, hit the drift hard, to drive the cotter pin / bolt downwards. This pin is round, with a taper flat machined on one side, to impinge on the side of the starter motor and keep it in place.
