What bothers me, if this individual can not figure out what size the
nut is, does he expect to simply remove that nut and expect the "fan"
more correctly called a flywheel, to siplylift off that crankshaft
end? Or will he use a crowbar and pry it off, two screwdrivers under
it and pry, and then ask how does he repair an aluminumn block with a
hole in it or straighten out a bent crankshaft on a
FC540V..........Such a simple thing tomeasure a nut has him stumped
yet he is wanting to tear into this engine is a disaster waiting to
happen.
