Re: [ST] countershaft sprocket

["Mike Young" <myoung@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Matt,
Plan B: Beg, borrow, buy or rent a big (1/2 or preferably 3/4" drive) electric impact wrench. If your rental outlet has the wrench, they'll probably have the socket too. I twist wrenches for a living, and when ever I run into a big tight fastener in a place where breaking it loose with the armstrong method is likely to inflict pain, cause damage, or exercise my vocabulary of four letter words, I reach for the biggest impact wrench I can get my hands on. (The largest impact wrench in my shop is 1" drive, but it's only used in one specific application...sucker's heavy and the sockets are REALLY expensive...)

That definitely crossed my mind when using the 3' bar. There isn't a 
whole lot of rotation available unless I want to really disassemble a 
bunch of stuff. I think I'll take it down to the Farm Shop tomorrow and 
see if they can loosen it for me.
