Good to know, I will do this in the near future, once I determine which vehicle I will be driving. We were already talking about selling this thing. Either way, I am getting a manual soon... waiting for an ratchet extension and I will be trying to get the crankshaft bolt out.

Just curious... I notice a lot of people suggest bracing a breaker bar against the frame and tapping the starter. I haven't seen any of these people say they have done it. Has anyone had success with this (for future reference. Too late for me to try that trick now).
