I also put a bar across the face of the flywheel and put the bolt through that and put a nut on "this" side of the bar and screwed on the nut to pull on the washer which pulled on the bearing. (Took mine out without destroying anything). I can't remember which one worked better, but I bent the bar and really had to torque on it. -- Gerry Gerald Skerbitz <gsker@med.umn.edu> U of MN Med School Admin 6-5379
