I had a 4 foot breaker bar, and all 13 (maybe 14) stone of me on the end of it to loosen it off. Censored tight

Just remember you need to re-tighten it again. Expensive mistake if you can't do it up tight enough again My D3 Build Thread

Normal thread you need to turn it towards the drivers side to loosen it and as DM says its tight when you come to tighten it it's 100nm then plus 90 degrees. You have locked the engine from turning.?
