A couple other tips I found along the way:
Easy way to remove the crank bolt:
Get an ratchet/breaker bar that is long enough to go to the ground. Put the bar on the drivers side of the car on the ground. now, make sure it's on there good. Now, bump the starter. Don't actually start the car, but bumping the starter will loosen the nut in about a 1/4 of a second. Much easier to do than to do it by hand.
You don't have to use the ground.
I usually use the driver's side framerail (near the battery), space permitting. A typical 1/2" breaker can reach it
