well, save yourself some time, and broken tools, and get a deep impact socket (1/2" should do) and a breaker bar. it really shouldnt be that big of a deal to get off...mine had never been disassembled and wasnt much of a problem at all. if you're using a 6 point socket, the starter method shouldnt be a problem.

and if i remember correctly, the torque spec is in the 90 range, i think the hayes said 94.
