Subject: getting the %$#*!) nut off the end of the crankshaft
>Hi Everyone,

>I have a spare 1275 A engine that I want to rebuild into a slightly hot

>I know that I've seen this a number of times on this list; use a piece of 2
>x 4, a long breaker bar and a big hammer, but I can't remember if this nut
>is standard thread or reverse. There is no mention of it being reverse in
>the Hayes or Bently manuals, but I just want to double check to make sure
>I'm not tightening this thing because it doesn't budge.

>I tried all of the above plus PB Blaster and heat (I figure on replacing
