starter motor removal help!

Hi
attempted to remove starter motor on lucida estima 2.2 deisel.
Reason is the usual click when trying to start.
Decided contacts might need a clean.
Managed after alot of effort to remove the 3 bolts from around it,but the bottom nut on the bolt thread would not budge.
Decided to heat it to see if that would help.
It moved along with the thread as well!!.
With this situation i still tried to seperate the starter motor but even though the bottom nut turns i fear it is still stopping it from comming apart.
Ihave decide to get another starter motor and cut off the bolt at the bottom holding the starter motor.
Are they usally quite easy to seperate from the car?.
Any tips would be helpfull on removal.
Kind regards
