usuially no problems with breaking starter bolts. they are heat treated steel.
i promise you won't break that son a bitch. its about a 3/8 - 7/16 bolt. i about pulled a gut just breaking it loose. i'd be more concerned about breaking my arm....[:@]

1999
I was under and broke loose the lower and removed the wrong bolt to the left of the top hard SOB to get to.
I was thinking I would needs another extension but I could not get the socket to fit on the bolt head.
I will try again when I get the chance.

Thanks to all who buzzed in.
