I am about to install my RD-1C PSRU (as soon as I can get the correct
flex plate.)
I was reading the instructions and there were some warnings about the
difficulty of breaking the sealant between the drive and the mounting
plate. I know that at some point, I will need to disassemble the drive
and it will be difficult to separate the mounting plate from the drive
housing.
What would be wrong with adding a few tapped holes between the existing
holes in the bolt circle of the mounting plate? When is comes time to
separate the plate, I would just screw in a few bolts into these holes
and tighten them in sequence. This would push the drive housing away
from the mounting plate in a controlled manner. No hammers, pry bars,
or bad language required.
Am I missing something, or is this a good idea?
