Front shaft bolt not budging, any ideas??
Like title states, Im in the middle of a tear down and I never thought that the front bolt was that hard.... now I got one rotor, and a housing out, but im stuck with the intermediate plate, front housing, and front plate... and cant remove it... so my question is, which way do I turn the front bolt in order to loosen it???? left or right?? I tried everything, even with a impact gun, and shattered a seal in the mean time, please help....

HEAT. Even with my 600 ft-lb reverse impact (rated @ 90psi) being driven at 160psi, it won't come off of some engines, without heat. A small propane torch will work, but a hotter map or oxyacetylene setup will work quicker. That thing is loctited in there, so you must melt the loctite to release it's bond.
Heat it for 10 minutes and it'll come right off.

no.... but thats the least of my fukin worries... I just got a 1100 motor that is pretty much junk right now.... 3 broken seals, missing springs, fuked up rotors, and fuked up housings... good thing they fronted me some housings, and kevin I appreciate everything, but how much would you charge for another 90 rotor and me giving you this one???
