Gland nuts


 
Howdy all,
Thanks for all the advice on the gland nut problem.  Here's what I did.
I went ahead and split the case w/o taking off the flex plate.  Then I 
wrapped the crank in a towel and took it to a friend who has an 
industrial air compressor.  I put the crank on a big block of wood with 
the flex plate hanging over one edge so's not to stress it.  Then I stood 
on the crank while my friend spun the nut off with an air wrench.  Zing!!!
and it's off.  Mind you, my friend's compressor is one of those big 220v
5 foot tall monster jobs.  My 3.5hp Crafstman compressor couldn't handle it.

Thanks again,
Curt
