Gotcha. Good air tools will definitely do it fast.
I did my Acura TL and a family members Honda Odyssey and Acura MDX two summers ago over a few days using the Aisin kits. I was just in my garage, though. Two of them came out just fine with my 3/4" 1/2" li-ion impact driver & the Lisle high mass socket, but the one on the Odyssey I had to get a 6 foot length of pole to eventually break it. Not my proudest moment! I had the breaker bar resting on a metal chest that was just the right height, and a few blankts covering the entire thing in case anything shattered. It all held up and the bolt broke free.
Yeah, I tried that a few times before going with the breaker bar. It didn't work, and I didn't want to stress the starter too much by keeping at it.
They wanted a couple of pull up bars, so I bought an 8 foot section of 1" steel gas line, and attached that down the handle of my 2 foot breaker bar, which was right angled onto a 2 foot drive extension, with that connection resting at the right height on the metal chest.
I started with the bar above my head and it was almost at the floor with me pumping up and down on it before the nut broke loose. That thing was tight.
3/4" impact on a 3/8 air line. My shop is well equipped.
