YEPPERS,,

Your buddy really reeked down ot it.. Find the longest extension bar you can get your hands on, or put a Pipe over what you have now.. Just be sure that what tools you are using now are of good quality and the pipe is Thick walled. And the socket is fully seated on the bolt head. Boy does it hurt when you are pushing with eveything you got and something breaks..

Now we know you're taking the starter off, What was the problem??
