Thanks to Paul for lending me a socket, breaker bar, and alum bar to secure
the fly wheel, I was able to get the engine apart today.  What fun!!  Paul, I
made a fly wheel puller out of your bar, so the next guy who uses it (Mike)
can have the fly wheel puller too.  Bruce's video was awesome.  I really felt
like I knew what I was doing (it just felt that way).  The rotors are soaking
in lacquer thinner as we speak.  All the seals and springs just slid out.
One little nick in one of the rotor housings (haven't decided if it needs
replacing) but otherwise everything is in great working order.  Will reuse
the 3-piece apex seals and side seals.

No No Thanks to Ken Gillanders for the socket and breaker bar.
After Mike gets done Ken needs it all back. Address on the box.
