While it works only for removing the bolt, it is what I have used.

1/2-inch drive breaker and socket (forgot what size). Socket on snug, breaker set up to the left of the car in a way that it will not move as the crank turns clockwise. Maybe on a bracket or frame member.

Hit the starter and turn it back as quick as possible. Works for me every time.

But - Bruce you know these cars better than do I - is there any harm to the engine doing it this way?

For the re-torquing I have the counterhold tool. WIWILPS (Worth its weight in lollipops)

Regards, and thanks,

bob
