Adrian,
If you have a impact wrench, it is a simple job. Just a few shots with the gun
and the bolt should spin right off.
I dont think I would use the starter to loosen the bolt.
If you dont have an impact wrench, try hitting the wrench you have in place
with a BFH. The hammer jolts should loosen the bolt after awhile. Best to use
a 6 point impact socket.
