Rescuing my Volvo after 3 years parked

With special tools 5187 and 5188 you use a torque wrench, not a breaker bar. Torque to 255 ft lbs. The 5188 extension inline with the torque wrench amplifies the 255 ft lbs at the torque wrench handle to ~350 ft lbs at the bolt. Give it a shot, I bet you can do it.

BTW the greenbook specs 332 ft lbs tightening torque at the crankshaft bolt itself.
