OK, I went out to the garage to take care of this. Took off the nuts at the
brake plate, and did a little whacking with the dead-blow hammer, but it just
doesn't want to budge at all. Got any other good suggestions on how to get in
there?? Or can I access it splitting that intermediate section from the whole
overdrive portion - based on the diagrams, I am guessing that will not come
apart because of this very cam, but if it will come apart, let me know.
Thanks again!
