Upper starter bolt? Getting this one loose took me three hours! I think the series of tools I used went in this order. A 3/8 drive socket, 3/8 drive high-quality universal joint, about 1 foot of 3/8 drive extensions, a 3/8 to ½ adapter, about one foot of ½ inch drive extensions, ½ inch drive breaker bar, about 1 foot of pipe. The series of extensions ran alongside the transmission. All four wheels of the car were sitting up on 10 inches of solid strong 6x10 wood. The car was in gear, emergency brake on, and wheels chocked. While I loosened the bolt, my friend held a wrench on the nut from the front side under the hood. My intake was off at the time. I don’t know if this helps, but I hope so. I know how to cuss in Spanish and English so this helped a bit, but it was still a job. Hope this helps.
