Keith,
Try a 1/2" drive socket and breaker bar. Once you get it on there, give
it a few good raps with a composition mallet. This pretty much works the
same way as the impact wrench.
I'd be surprised if you find your answer in the timing case though. The
gears sometimes break, but the the bike won't run then. The flywheels and
it's bolts are in the transmission bell housing. I wish you were closer
to Detroit. Kev and I both could give you a hand.

| Appreciate the vote of confidence and support Tom. Spoke with Dave Otis this morning and let him hear the racket via phone, his response was "She sure does sound sick!", I agreed. I'm too far into this project now to give up, so I will push on. Here's the next question: From what Dave I can tell, the sound is seems to be coming from the timing chest. I follow the steps on how to get the timing chest cover off, but man is that crank bolt on there tight! Any advice on how to get it off w/o a compressor and air gun? I got a good grip on it by taking off the lower pulley wheel (inner and outer 1/2) and belt, and was gripping the cylinydrical part behind the bolt with channel locks, and tried with all my might to break the nut loose, but couldn't do it. I'll ask Cam to give me a hand as perhaps with 2 hands and an extension or a longer 1/2" drive socket wrench will get that sucker to crack! Any advice on this, has anyone been able to crack this nut without power tools and how? I think the mystery is hiding behind that timing chest cover. BTW, that is the seal that started leaking also, and remember that gen belt that burnt up on me? Perhaps this is all related? Where are the flywheel bolts that a few of you mentioned being toasted? Same area? Thanx for the help again!! Keith Ruff 71 Police Ambassador - NJ Arizona Kid wrote:
