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?
