Default Starter wires with headers

Is there a trick short of removing the header or starter to get to the starter wires? 1978.

I had to get to mine a couple months ago and had to remove the 2 starter bolts which allowed the starter to turn enough to get to the wire connections. I just put a rag over the header and let the starter rest on the header.

Thanks Hops that's what I ended up doing but in the process broke the solenoid and just replaced the starter.
