Ken Gillanders kindly sent me a 3/4 drive 2-1/8 socket and breaker
bar to get my flywheels off. He also sent a 1-1/2 inch 1/8 thick
angle four feet long that unfortunately was not up to the job. 
Sorry Ken I bent it. Dave, If you need it let me know. Ken 
said I can send it to you. The channel is too heavy and costly to ship
as one can buy it locally for less than it cost to ship.

I went to the local welder and he sold me a rusty piece of four 
inch channel 1/4 inch thick five feet long for $4 that did the job.

BTW take the screw off holding the pulley on the front of
the e-shaft first. I did not and I had to put the flywheel
back on to hold the e-shaft from turning while I removed that
screw. It was on there so hard I broke a 1/2 inch drive Craftsman 
19 mm 12 point socket. I had to go buy a 19 mm six point impact
socket to get that screw off.
