another trick that I have seen used before on other cars, is putting a breaker bar on the bolt with the end of the handle touching the ground, and tap the starter.
ghetto, I admit to have used it in the past but this method can break stuff
Yea i did this on my daily driver 240 tap starter and bolt cam rite off, would never do this to my s2! I really never gave a shit about the 240sx lol. But i kept it 2 yrs had no ill effects over it.

1: NEVER use a torque wrench to loosen ANYTHING. This is what breaker bars are for

2: tapping the starter is also a terrible idea, both the flywheel, and starter gear weren't designed to take anywhere close to that type of load.



for the tip though! Seems like it would help loosen things up for sure

I used a heat gun since the cars been sitting for a few months now. Worked pretty good and didn't take insane amount of effort.

Are you saying you used a heat gun to get the whole thing hot, then used compressed air to cool the bolt back down?
