I am in the middle of replacing my starter and te top bolt holing it in is so @#%^ tight it is rediculous. Ive started to strip it and I am worried about if i keep trying. I can only get a wrench on it and the 13 is jsut so short. I tried with everybit of strnegth in my body (then my knuckles were demolished on the truck soon after) any tricks to getting it off? I jsut keep going out there and trying to turn it and it jsut keeps not turnin, any ideas would be great, thanks.
 












By stripped i mean the head of the bolt, from numerous times the wrench slipped off with tons of pressure on it. I have a breaker bar but even my 6 sided socket slips off due to the angle i have to apply pressure. It sucks that this one freaking bolt is stopping an otherwise simple thing. I guess i will just try slowly wit hthe breaker bar and see what happens. This happen to anyone else? Thanks
