They are very tight as the cosequences of them coming loose can be considerable. They normally have a right hand thread, you will probably need something like a four foot bar on the socket. There is a quick and easy way if you are brave, using a bar long enough to reach the ground , engage the socket with the bar facing farwards touching the ground and just blip the starter, that should unscrew it. When you replace it put some locktite on the bolt.

tried that allready with no success!
when veiwed from the front the engine turns clockwise which would suggest to me that the bolt is a left hand thread?
