Disconnect the distributor wires, put a 19mm or 3/4" socket on the bolt, use a 1/2" drive or larger breaker bar, put an extension of stout pipe/tube on the end of it, at least 24", set it up so its under the passenger-side frame rail, bump the starter- BOOM! its loose...

It's not like your cranking it for ever.
Even with the pan off, I would.
There's enough residual oil in the bearing surfaces to last for the split second crank.
It'll do maybe 1 rotation, if that.


Or you can be stubborn and chalk the wheels, put it in 5th in 4 hi and try to take it out with a breaker bar by hand.

It's not like the crank sits in the oil anyway.

You could also remove the EFI fuse.
