Paul:

Don't worry about the angle iron. That was my second one. The first

one bent

in half like swiss cheese. I think I got it loose and the second bar

did the

trick. I've got some .063 2024-T3  C channel aluminum for next time.

I don't know Ken. I think .063 might be too thin. I will stop by the
metals place and get four feet of 3 X 1 by 3/16 aluminum channel which
might be a good compromise with shipping weight.

This is just like taking the gland nut off of a VW.  I always used a
2x2x1/4" steel angle about 10 ft long.  The VW was supposedly torqued to
217 ft-lb.  Often took a 4 ft cheater on a my 3/4" T-handle and about
50-100 lbs or more.

How did you bolt it to the flywheel James?
