Well I got everything off the engine and was ready with my 1/2" Air
hammer and a 19mm socket to take off the Front bolt... I Hammered
and Hammered and Hammered... No Joy.  So back to the tool store,
purchased the 2 1/8" socket but could only find it in a 1/2 drive.
 I also picked up a 3/4" breaker bar and a 6' pipe.  Back home...
Took a 1/2" aluminum plate and built a tool to lock the E-Shaft from
turning (That worked out great) and with a little help from my son,
 I tried the front bolt again... A little grunt and off it came... I
moved to the back and put on the 2 1/8" socket, which was a 1/2"
drive and added an adapter for the 3/4" breaker bar... Put on the 6'
pipe and gave it a try... There was movement and it was soon
apparent that it was the 1/2" drive twisting and fracturing.  So I
had an older 1/2" breaker bar and decided to give that a go... Same
results more broken hardware... Then a said what the heck, I have
this really old 1/2 drive torque wrench that I haven't used in years,
 gave it a try... Guess what, I don't have that really old torque
wrench anymore.  So, today it is off to sears to see if I can find
either a better 3/4 to 1/2 adapter or a 2 1/8" socket with a 3/4
drive.  I'm determined to get that thing off and get these housings
in the mail to you Paul by Monday.

 Mike,
 Try pushing the e-shaft to the flywheel end and smacking the nut a few
times. A helper folding the shaft rear ward and a socket or heavy wall pipe
that clears the thread and a 5# hammer should do. This helps break the "set"
on the threads.
