Default Troubleshooting the Starter

My starter does not move. I did the test suggested in the Bentley manual of measuring voltage at terminal 50 on the starter and the voltage would average at 10.8V when the key was turned as to start. Measuring the voltage of the battery terminals produces 12.3V. I think I have a bad starter mainly since my daughter has just learned to drive with a stick and she had to start the car many many times (OK now). Please let me know if I am on the right track.

The car is up on the jacks. I cannot see the bolts holding the starter on. I expect it will be a blind removal with long extensions. Taking the manifold off may make the starter removal a lot easier but it is worth the extra work. Appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks
