approach to starter 200

Hello all,

What's your approach to the starter's upper mounting bolt on the 240. In the past I wasted a huge amount of time with a hand ratchet with swivel and extensions. Has anyone used a power ratchet?

Ring spanner from above, put on backwards. Sacrifice a spanner and cut the other end off if you find you need the space. Apply extra leverage if necessary, or wack it with a hammer to start it. In my experience this is much easier than a socket with lots of extensions from below.
