I Kevin, good to hear from you! Do you have any big sockets? My KF7 mercury flywheel nut came right off with a 1 1/4 socket. Maybe mine is weird or something but you could try one on yours.

I second this method. It has worked pretty well for me on Mercurys, both for removal and using a torque wrench to install. Hopefully it is 1 1/4″ or less. It’s very hard to find individual sockets that are bigger than that without either paying through the nose (Snap-On, etc) or having to buy a whole set. (HF)

Long live American manufacturing!
