I know what you mean! When I did my '98 Civic to change the timing belt I rented a 1000+ lbf*ft 3/4" air wrench and had to use over 120 PSI to do it. That was after trying a $250 Craftsman 750 lbf*ft gun (I find good ways to justify tool purchases
) With my Accord I had to jack the car up as high as I could and have someone hold the brakes while the car was in gear and use an 18" pipe on my 24" breaker bar and that was not fun.
Go with the starter method. It was so easy I almost busted out laughing when the bolt just flew off when I put my air wrench on it after using the starter to break the torque.
