Good Day,
The title says it all. First time project for me. Seems I cannot pull the powerhead with the vertical shaft connected. Think its the bushing.
My thoughts.. Need someway or something that I can get to grip the vertical shaft well enough to survive some hammer blows. I am guessing the crank and downshaft are stuck together at the splines... Probably never been apart.
I need to do a couple of these as I piece 2 motors into one..
Any ideas or experience appreciated.. I have a couple manuals but the finer points of working on an old engine are never covered..
TIA... Thanks in advance for your thoughtful replies....
