please dont tell me they made it left hand threads...
anyway. the engine is on a stand bolted to a pallet. my impact wont faze it and ive already broke a screw driver. i placed a large drill bit in the un threaded hole in the crank and used the screw driver to lock the crank down. had my dad use the jack handle for leverage on the bolt but it broke the screw driver. my friend dropped off a fly wheel so we could try that but the stupid dealer ship hung up on me two times when i called to see if they had flywheel bolts in stock.
how the hell else would i get the stupid bolt off. i dont think my air compressor is large enough.

ok i got it out. went to the dealer and scored some bolts. ended up threading a cap head screw in one of the clutch mounting holes and used that as a brace. i also used a fly wheel turning tool for extra support. i held the fly wheel tool while my dad jumped on the jack handle. finally came loose.
i discovered the motor i bought has a brand new roll master double roller in it.
