Either use the starter bump method or..

Keep driver's side wheel on the ground.  Put transmission in 5th gear.  Have
someone stand on the brakes.  Use a 6-pt 19 mm (or was it 18 mm) impact
grade socket, an extension resting on a jackstand, an 18" prybar, and a 4 ft
steel pipe over the extension.  Stand or jump on the pipe.

The starter bump method is much easier.  Make certain that you use ONLY a
6-pt socket and that the socket and ratchet both have lifetime warranties.
Make sure you position the ratchet so it will swing several inches before
striking the subframe - the engine has to be able to pick up some momentum
to pop the bolt loose.
