Those nuts are $45, so it behooves you to reuse the one you've got. Use
a rattle gun and four-pin socket, and it will almost surely come off.
Just did one yesterday that was more chewed than any I had previously
seen. Came right off and went rigtht back on. Do not for get to bend
down the locking tab first.

As a matter of fact it has been great for me to follow the thread on your project as I am doing the same thing but you are a little quicker than me so it seems every time I have a question you ask it before I get a chance, so just to let everyone know your answers and suggestions to Ted have been much appreciated by me as well. My input gear doesn't look as bad as yours apparently is, but I do need to remove it and the PO apparently removed it or attempted to remove it with a punch (or a "gouge" from the appearance of the nut), and I am also wondering if the nut will need replacing. Don't know how long this old Eldo sat in someone's garage or barn, but I do know there are lots of spider webs in everything I disassemble! The sun is supposed to come out today so I'm hoping to get a little spin in at lunchtime. Thanks again to everyone all these projects almost make winter seem like fun.
