You won't have blown any fuses doing that, but it probably hasn't done the jump leads or battery a lot of good.

There are two wires. The main battery feed and the *trigger* wire - 13mm and 8mm spanners needed.
You would be better removing wires first (after disconnecting battery) as you probably will struggle to pull the nose of the starter out of the bell housing before the cables go tight.
Then you would have the issue of trying to hold starter in one hand and undo cables with the other. Undo the lower fixing bolts first and remove the top bolt from above, then remove starter by taking it out of the top or lowering to the ground whichever is easiest.
