I'm trying to remove a kawi style coupler on this engine so I can put my cold fusion coupler on there but OMG this thing is on there. I tried my usual wrench through the coupler and some brute force. When that didn't work I went to my next method of heating the coupler and a longer wrench. That has always worked on stubborned couplers but not even a budge on this one.
My last resort was to put the bedplate under a ledge and bounce on the wrench. Nothing.... I'm at a loss. I'm pretty sure I have to pull the coupler now because the crank seal appeared to be bubbling around the crank. I know not to heat the coupler from the seal side but apparently enough heat transferred to the seal anyway. I'm putting far more torque on this thing than any impact wrench within reason can put out but still nothing.
Ideas????
