;-)

A less traumatic way of removing that bolt is to remove a spark plug and feed a 
length of rope into the combustion chamber. Leave enough sticking out that you 
can just pull it out when you're done.

You should do this against closed valves, so set the cylinder at its firing 
point and then add a half turn.

You can repeat the exercise to tighten the bolt, just "back off" the engine in 
the opposite direction.
