i stuck the breaker bar against something that would not break and bumped the engine starter. worked like a charm.

I used the air impact it took about 20-30 seconds before it spun off just holding the trigger down had no problems. Makesure with the breaker bar have a friend and a heavy duty socket. I snapped 2 of mine.

the starter trick is the easiest, impact or a cheater pipe should work.

if you are using the starter you are asking for problems.

Make sure your e-brake is up tight and put the car in 4th gear. I used a 25" breaker bar and it worked just fine!
