I found this tip on the web somewhere and my 500lb-ft impact gun wasn't doing the trick.

Using the starter is not something I'd normally suggest due to the amount of force and how the breaker bar/socket can become airborne and cause harm/damage. Recaping..more than 300ft lbs of force at the speed of the starter can cause the socket/bar to fly off and hurt the person holding it..or damage the car/things around the car...you simply can't be sure what might happen.
If I wanted to stop our engines from starting...I'd unplug the ICM connection. If you undo the plug wires..you'll still have that high voltage grounding somewhere.

p.*. I did not have anyone holding the handle and it would be a very bad idea indeed.
