firewood works pretty well... I'm more of a "big rock" kind of guy myself...

I was kinda thinking that was what I was gonna have to do. I was wacking it with a large hammer but I really couldn't get a good hit on it. I am heading over there in a few minutes so I should have some pics of the engine tonight if all goes well.

you kind of have to shake it loose. the wood does a good job of that and makes it POP off keep the flywheel nut on there so it doesn't fall on your foot LOL

OK here is some stuff in the parts wash. I'll post another pic of all the stuff together when I get it all cleaned up.





Thanks for your advice vosko. The wood block did the trick
