You may need to remove the front under shield of the to access the front of the engine.
Attach a socket to the bolt and a short extension which should be 1/2 drive to help handle the force needed.
Connect a breaker bar which is a long bar socket wrench for leverage and turn the engine clockwise only. You don't want to turn the engine backwards because the timing chain tensioner can retract and the engine may jump time.
