If you agree to post back here at every step of the way, I guarantee you we'll get it off.

One step at a time - right now, your problem is that you can't apply enough power to the bolt with the tools you have. The solution to that specific problem is that you simply need more leverage. You need to find/buy/beg/borrow/steal a long, strong pipe that fits the end of your pry bar. Put the pipe on, and push. With a long enough pipe, you could flip your car over, or tear the engine off the motor mounts. However, something else will happen first. For example, your clutch may slip (if you have a 5spd). Post back and tell us what happens next.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
