the nut is 2-1/8" its a pain in the *** without an impact wrench, or o ive heard lol... it only took me about 10 seconds witht the cheesy walmart CH impact gun for like 35 bucks. If you get the socket from sears like i did, you might need an adapter, my gun was 1/2" drive, and the socket is 3/4. 30 bucks total

Flying Parts

nothing should fly. however, it would be wise to start with a clean shop floor and pleanty of clear space on a bench. account for all the rotor seals and springs during disassembly. many times the side seals and corner seals will stick to the side or int. plates when you lift them.

good luck

Dude, Those questions alone lead me to believe your head is over your ski's. You should do some reading or purchase one of the rebuilding videos before you try to rip the motor apart. This isn't a tinker toy set!
