Dennis,
I have found that the easiest way to get it loose is a BIG air impact wrench. I have one that puts out around 900 ft-lbs of torque and it gets them off. If you don't have one you might be able to borrow or rent one. When without mine during an tear down in Louisiana, I took the block to a Farm Equipment implement place and they spun it off for no cost. Took them 5 seconds. I for one just don't like putting a torch on metal bolts even though I know it can work.

Subject: [FlyRotary] Renesis Thermal Pellet
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,
Dennis H.
