Re: IML: 59 413 engine color



Dave has the right idea.  Just do like he says and make sure the socket is on right.  Workd every time. for me.

I turn the crank carefully until the breaker bar is resting on the left frame rail (driver's side). Once all the tools are firmly in place, I bump the starter. Just a bump. This breaks the bolt loose so you can remove it easily. Be careful when doing this. Make sure the socket is all the way on and there is no slack in the setup.
