Hi,
        The 13B  comes apart just like Bruce's video describes.  I

bolted a piece

of angle iron the the flywheel  (stick) and broke the front hub bolt
loose.  The flywheel nut will not budge.  Used a 1/2" breaker bar and a

4'

extension with no luck.  Tried a small impact wrench at 80 psi, just
noise.  Any tricks of the trade?  Thanks for any help.

1/2 inch breaker bar is not big enough. You need a 3/4 with a four foot

arm.

Or a large 3/4 impact wrench.

Bruce must be stronger than us mere mortals. :-) I had the same problem
trying to get that flywheel nut loose.  Perhaps one could do it IF the
engine was fixed so it couldn't move but it wouldn't budge with a breaker
bar with a long extension.  List member and all round Good Buddy Ed Anderson
came to my rescue.  His impact wrench broke it loose like you were backing
it off with your fingers!  Amazing!  Thanks again, Ed!
