Damn, likely tightened 30 years ago!
Impact driver? big ass screw driver? This old motor is too greasy to risk heat (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) i don't want to leave 1/2 in the case. Suggestions? |

Try tightening them just a little before loosening them. This often breaks the corrosion bond and makes it easier to remove them. The same applies to brake line fittings.
