Well I got mine installed today at my favorite workshop

The mechanics had a very hard time taking out the crank bolt too, even with an air tool, but their solution was quite different (and crazy)

One guy put a ratchet on the crank bolt and held it in place TIGHT
Another guy then cranked the engine for half a second. and POP went the crank bolt...

Don't try this at home, thought, it looked like a very easy way to break your arm in two, and cause much damage to the engine bay

No driving impressions yet, though, I left the car there to check the alignment (it veers a bit to the left at highway speeds), and get a nice wash and wax inside and out
