Ok, this is probably an easy one, but I am trying to dis-assemble my 13b and
find that some neaderthal throwback has tightened the pully bolt past what I
can exert on the socket wrench.  Anyone got some good ideas on how to remove
said bolt?

regards

A half inch to 3/4 inch impact wrench works. If no impact wrench then
drastic measures are called for. I hate to tell you this Peter because you
have probably removed the flywheel.

Yes?

If yes? Put it back on as you will need it to hold the e-shaft still.
Bolt the flywheel to a strong channel at least three feet long. See the picture.
Then get a 1/2 or 3/4 breaker bar with impact socket is best but a
six point is better than a 12 point. Slip a piece of two foot pipe
over the breaker bar and have at it. Just break it loose and go back and take
the flywheel off again.

I was able to hold the flywheel with my hands while my freind used a 3/4 impact on
the nuts, the impluse is so short in time that it will not turn the wheel.
