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

came to my rescue.  His impact wrench broke it loose like you

were

backing

it off with your fingers!  Amazing!  Thanks again, Ed!

Impact wrench is the way to go. I did it myself without any special

rigs.

worked as a nice extension to the breaker bar.
