- Thank you very much to all who responded with suggestions.
-
- The solution was as follows:
-
- Here at BYU there is a shop for Mechanichal Engineers like me to use.
- After discovering it a few days ago I found a 2.5" adjustible wrench with
- a 2.5 foot handle. They let me borrow it on the condition that I not use
- a cheater bar. The bar would have made it go quicker and more ellegantly.
- After jumping on the thing a few times it slowly came loose.
-
- This solution came after 50 phone calls to shops and stores. The place
- where I borrowed it from is 3 stories below where I work... right under
- my nose. The looks I got carrying this 3 foot wrench around to classes
- were enjoyable.
-
- Now if I can just get the replacement steering box and carburator installed
- the beast will be ready to license (sp?)
