My 1/2" impact wouldn't do mine, I had to put a 6' cheater bar on my 1/2" flex
handle. Be sure to lock up the engine, the parking brake won't do. I removed
the starter and clamped a pair of visegrip pliers down on the flywheel.
Good Luck!
Thanks,

1 13/16 is correct.
They come in 4/4" drive.
You can get an adapter to size it down to 1/2"
You sure will need an impact wrench, if you borrow someone's sockets
make sure you know where to purchase a new one if your impact breaks the
socket...
I speak from experience. !

1 13/16", I believe. Never seen one in 1/2" before. Try using a big -
about 14" adjustable wrench.
