Todd, Bob - It's out! amazing when you have access to the right
tools. a 3/4drive on a 1/2 in. impact wrench, 3 seconds and one
bolt out, within 1 minute I had the flywheel on the ground.
Thanks So Much --- You guys are an absolute goldmine of wonderful,
helpful info!. With resources like this, TR's will be around for
another 30 years!
Ken - with pieces everywhere....

: Ken,
:
: Stick a long, but beefy nut/bolt through one of the back plate
holes at the
: bottom. Have a person wedge a crowbar between the bolt & one of
the ring
: gear teeth. It's really easy to hold it! So maybe your wife can
do it, HA
: HA! You should be able to get 'em free with a LONG wrench.

: Good luck,
