Starter removal problems

I have 1997 GMC Sierra 2500 turbo diesel. I need to replace the starter. However there are 2 transmission coolant lines directly under the starter. And to make it worse an exhaust pipe directly under the coolant lines so even if I somehow disconnected the coolant lines they would not be able to swing far enough out of the way. How do I get this stupid starter out?

According to the factory instructions, that stuff shouldn't be a problem or have to be removed.
Remove or Disconnect
- Negative battery cable. Refer to CAUTION
- Starter brackets and/or shields, if equipped.
- Wires from the starter solenoid..
- Raise the vehicle and support with safety stands.
- Two bolts and washers (where present) holding the starter to the engine.
- Starter from the engine.

I can get the bolts out easy, just can't slip the starter past the lines

Just a comment for trans lines: If you do cut or have to bend them, do it exactly right and back in place. Many will use clips such that they don't rub each other etc. It matter a lot. If they can whip around or rub they will wear a hole at great risk to transmissions for not paying attention,
