Hard to break loose

[clarkrcdc]

I tried to take the nut loose that holds the clutch boss ,so I could change the basket. I used the biscipts with the special fingers and a 30mm socket. I straighten out the washer then tried to loosen it , but it would not break loose.. Also tried an impact wrench with 120lbs pressure. Seems to be tighter than 50lbs. torque.. I hope this is a right hand thread, it looked like it was. Can anybody help? Also would anyone be interested in looking at it in Oberlin on maintance day?

Can't help but maybe some others will jump in.

 

Figured it would break loose with the impact.

You're going counterclockwise,right? Might take a sharp rap to kick it loose.

This is a right Hand Thread.

 

Here's a Thread discussing the Clutch Basket recently.

I had to sit the End of my extended Vice Grip against the Water Pump Casing and use a 2.5 Feet Extension Tube over the 1/2" T-Handle and 30 mm Socket.
