Thanks for the video, we had stripped our engine down already and had to jam a hammer handle beside the crank. Strapped it vertically to a trailer with the base attached, PTO wheel up top. Lots of heat out of a torch on the PTO, and used a big impact gun with the impeller tool. (Used some penetrant the day before too, but the heat was the key!) Took a couple tries with the impact but finally broke free without damage or injury to anyone. Happy to get it off without incident.

I laid my block sideways on my flat bed trailer, put a 2x6 across the block and spanning from trailer rail to rail. This held it nicely while I took off the pro. Also considered putting it in the ground with a 2x12 ramping up the block and pulling my truck up slightly on the end of board to hold it downn

[@robertfolk4583]

I used the monster Milwaukee impact gun on mine. We used lots of heat out of a MAP tank, it finally spun off.

Were are you guys located by? Have same boat that needs some engine work maybe you can do for me!?

Have removed literally 100s of them. I have always laid the motor sideways on a concrete floor. Heat the threads if necessary. Used breaker bar and one stomp with a boot and it pops loose. Same with any other PTO or coupler.. Yamaha, Kawasaki, Polaris Etc.

[@Foundanktuary1]

what did you use and put into the PTO for leverage? O_O
