NST Pulley Install - Crankshaft bolt stuck?

I've seen a shop use a 4' breaker bar to remove. It looked easy that way. Lol.

Some times you can position the breaker bar as such so you can hit the starter then the breaker bar hits the frame rail,but with a push button start you will have to watch it.

FWIW, one can bypass the starting system by unplugging the "S" connector from the backside of the starter and applying 12V to the wire going to the starter solenoid when you want the starter to spin. See the STR section of the FSM - STR-11 shows the wiring diagram and the "S" connector physical location is shown on STR-17 thru STR-20.

Edit: Remove fuel pump fuse first and take any other appropriate safety precautions
Edit 2: FSM references are for 2009 edition

You can use a torch on the bolt head only.. Like everyone else said get a longer breaker bar. It will break free. Just don't over heat the bolt.

Done it a hundred times. I have a 1.5 inch X 4 ft piece of tubing sitting in the corner for stuff just like this..
