    If you take the 3 screws out and remove the
    rope pulley you will see the rest of the 2 flat
    sided nut. This arrangement may remove the
    flywheel by backing off this nut. As you
    back off this flat sided nut, it pushes up on the
    rope pulley separating the flywheel from the
    crankshaft. However if the flywheel is really
    on there you can easily destroy the rope pulley
    so most don’t recommend it. Loose your brass
    rod and get a wooden dowel to use for tapping
    on the pistons. Keep adding solvents and
    attempting to get it to move daily. It may take
    some time. Applying heat to the cylinders may
    speed up the process. I have made this fitting
    from an old spark plug to use air to push
    solvents in and around the pistons. Only
    works on the ones above the ports unless
    you can block them.

    A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
