Bill Dube posted several notes on removing the "E" shaft bolt and thermal pellet from a Renesis.  At the time I didn't pay much attention.  Now I'm ready to remove mine and can't get the bolt out!!  Has anyone found a source for the thermal pellet replacement pin (for the Renesis) to keep the oil passage open!  Bill - could you give me details as to how you blocked the "E" shaft flywheel and any other helpful information - I have Tracy's 3.85 gear box already mounted.  I tried blocking the damper weight with a block of aluminum and using a LONG cheater I still could not break the bolt loose.   I wonder why the factory put them in so tight?  Is it necessary to first heat the bolt with a torch?

Thanks,
