Re: IML: 59 413 engine color

I haven't yet broken anything doing this. It is kind of scary when you turn 
the key (or push the remote starter button) and have all that torque trying 
to move an immovable object! The only way it would break the bolt is if the 
threads are too stuck. By bumping the starter, you are only moving it a 
little at a time. It only takes a couple of degrees to break it free.
