Would any of you use anti-sieze on the bolt, or something similar? I imagine a danger would be that the bolt backs out on it's own. I worked on removing the second, lower starter mounting bolt, which is longer and I think extends through bell housing into the block. It is also fighting me. I hit it with PB Blaster and removed some stuff for room. With a cheater bar I get slight movement, but I am worried maybe the bolt head is breaking off. Ugh. I expected this little job to be simple! Now I feel like the car is off the road for a while.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
