Eccentric Shaft Removal
#1
I can't seem to get the e-shaft out of the front housing for the life of me. I've tried to do it how the FSM says, by taking off the int. housing and then pulling it off; but I can't get the damn int. housing around it either. Is the shaft supposed to just slide out of the front housing? How about those 6x 12mm bolts holding on the bearing spacers? I removed them, but nothing new. Anyone have any tricks?

kinda confused if you have this engine apart... once you have rear plate, rear housing, and rotor out then you are to lift the eshaft up a bit and then rock the inter. housing up and over.... i'm sure that's what you are reading in the fsm but your info is kinda hazy

No, let me tell you... this is definately a bitch. At first I could turn the shaft about 40deg. rotating. Then I tried to torque it further and possibly break it loose and that's where it stayed. Now I can somewhat get an angle at the int. housing, but it just won't come over the shaft without the shaft moving (out, not rotating). Say this was a new motor, shouldn't I be able to simply pull the e-shaft out providing that the int. housing was removed? Even if I do get the int. housing removed, I really don't think the shaft is going to come out. What to do?
