Is there any one out there that knows anything I may or may not be doing right?
I have removed every nut and bolt that can be removed, plus two unnecessarily. The motor moved about two inches up out of the casing and will go no farther. The foot has been removed completely. The shaft from the fly wheel is loose but something is keeping it from completely breaking free. (I do know there is no need to remove the fly wheel to do this.) Need to remove the motor from casing, then flip it over to remove the bottom plate to get to power head gasket. Seemed simple, now I am literally "stuck". Hope someone can help. Thanks.
