[Healeys] Removing Big Nut on Crankshaft

[Rick Swain]

You could try what I have done unintentionally - twice. I left a big crescent
wrench on the nut, then later, having forgotten it was there, tried to start
the engine. A big clunk, but luckily no damage. Spun that nut right off. no
problem at all. And here I am admitting to my stupidity.
You could turn the wrench until it fetched up against the inner fender, or
wherever, and avoid the big clunk.
