You know, just like the Subaru Service Manual says....
but I supose that you could rewire the starter to run backwards and have the reversed polarity starter, now caller "stopper" spin it backwards to a specified torque!



Or, you could install a manual transmission, and have the car pulled backwards at a predetermined rate, with of course the crankshaft bolt firmly welded to the subframe and suddenly drop the clutch for just long enough for the torque faries to.....

Outstanding
