I am building a Glasair Super II Taildragger.

I have been told there is another guy on my field (Chesepeake, VA) who is building a Mazda powered aircraft, so I might see what tools he has to pull the parts, if not I will take the advice of taking it over to a powered shop.

It is a Renesis block - as for calling RWS, I purchased my transmission and ECU a year and a half ago - I was worried that Tracy might retire before I got parts; Tracy - congrats I am sure it is a great feeling and thanks for all the work you did put in.

Welcome back --- is that a Renesis Block? - You should give RWS a call asap.
2 guys, 1 crowbar and a 4-foot piece of pipe over a breaker bar will get the nuts off – still a struggle though.

What are you building?  One suggestion, take it to a truck tire store and get them break loose the big nut on the flywheel end of the engine using their big impact wrench.  You might as well do the one on the water pump end too. Otherwise, you'll be in for a really big fight to get it off by yourself.

Well after a year break - I have gotten back into the building process.

Cleaning out the hangar and getting everything set up to keep building. Managed to get my hands on this gal for $315 shipped to my door. Needs to be torn down and rebuilt, but if nothing else it will be a good learning process and be a basis for parts to build a new one.
