[TR] TR3A Fan extention housing and bolt removal

[Jay Holekamp]

I use a 6-point [12 point won't work] 1-1/8 1/2" drive socket with my
strongest air impact wrench. Easy.

what sort of tool do I use 

I forget the size offhand, but a standard 6-point
socket will grab it
securely in spite of the rounded corners.  A stout impact
wrench is by far
the easiest method, IMO, as it will work against the inertia
of the engine.
Otherwise, you are going to need a long breaker bar and some
method of
locking the engine.  I have gotten by with putting the gearbox in
4th gear
and setting the parking brake firmly; but that apparently isn't
enough in
some cases.  Another trick I've heard is to rest the handle against
the
ground (or the frame) and hit the starter.

Or if appearance isn't
important to you, a big pipe wrench right on the
extension would probably
work.
