Try the bumping the starter technique. Just remember to pull the efi fuse (even better, pull the fuse and crank it normally to make sure there is no trace gas in the system).

starter motor could work, you can't use the drivetrain if the clutch is pressed down.



I bolted some angle iron up to the front hub that the pulley attaches to and jammed it against the concrete driveway surface.... after that just used a impact gun on the nut and it came right apart.

I forgot I had a chain wrench... So with a 6 foot Breaker bar I snapped the head off my CRAFTSMAN 3/8" wrench. I guess I need 1/2" stuff. So off to SEARS I go to get a 19MM socket and BREAKER BAR.

Yes, never use a ratchet for stuff like that. Get a 1/2 inch breaker bar, and both a 1/2->3/8 and a 3/8->1/2 adapter. And a few 1/2 inch sockets in the 19-22mm range. If you just use an adapter so you can use the 1/2 inch breaker with a 3/8 inch socket, you'll break the adapter.
