Fred, I found that wedging a pry bar between the counter weight and engine
such that a steady pressure is put on the counterweight and then rapping the
edge of the counter weight with a small 2 lb sledge hammer ( don't use a
regular hammer as it does not have the mass to do the job right and you'll
just bang up your counter weight). This has always worked for me (all of
the three or four tear downs I have done).

Also, put the nut back on, but leave it loose a few turns. A liberated counterweight can travel quite a distance. I drive a very large square shank screw driver between the balance weight and a mounting bolt for the stationary gear. Then I heat the counter weight around the crank with a torch. Usually they just go "Bang" and pop right off. Striking the weight at a 90 degree angle to the crank will take anything off. Leaving the nut on also protects the threads in case you miss. Lynn E.
