I tried some more this afternoon, using a cheater bar on my 18″ pipe wrench,
heat from the torch, and more wrapping with the one pound pounder.
All I managed to do was break another grade 8 puller bolt. Again, I had just
enough sticking out to be able to unscrew it.
Guess I’ll look for some good shoulder bolts. The plate itself is 3/4″ plate, but
do wish it had a fine thread center bolt.
Thanks again for the tips.
If I don’t have it off by the Tomahawk meet, maybe one of you can show
me how good your OMC puller works. 🙂
