I don't think it is RH thread, they are usually regular thread. try bracing a big breaker bar agains the frame and then hit the starter. that's what I do, works every time.

Any one have any suggestions. I have been using PB blaster ever couple of hours too. I also tried heating a little with a cutting torch it and then using the driver or the breaker bar.
A Land Rover would never turn up to collect an Oscar. It'd be far too busy doing something important, somewhere, for someone."
