Sounds like he had carbon lock, the starter was non functional, and he decided to push, pull or drag the car to break the frozen engine loose. It sounds like he did break the engine loose but the pig won't ignite and run while pulling, pushing and shoving the car. The starter is still a bum **** starter, the way I understand it. I say fix the starter. Grind the bolt head off if it won't come out and your half way there. Don't ask how to get the rest of the bolt out.
