Use a propane torch on low heat. Turn the blade for good heat distribution. Put some PB blaster on and let it soak in overnight. A couple light taps with the hammer and you`re done. Put never- seize moly back on the crankshaft and adapter and have no more future trouble.
I AllWAYS remove carb and fuel tank Then use cutting torch to heat it and water, install puller and it’s done 😊 Get a grade 8 bolt one and 1/4 longer and center drill it, works great
Just watched half of this first time and said to myself oh yeah I got this. Now that I have watched it all the way thru I am glad you had the same problem I am having. Longer skinnier bolt Brillant will get right on it.
you would think so right I hit mine with blaster at first then hit it again and let it sit all night and again today. Still Stuck. I used to use wd40 and one day after using wd40 and still stuck I picked up blaster and never went back. Own a lawn business and was given this mower by one of my customers had it for years first time i have to take it off so don't know how long it has been stuck.
