98 GTX coupler removal

[Rdessewffy]

Thing wont budge. I broke a Craftsman 1/2 inch extension and a cheap Harbor Freight (expected) breaker bar at same time putting a 5 foot pole over breaker bar and heated coupler first. I've done this on 787 and no problem...... what should I do?

Lifetime warranty lolol

I suggest a chain wrench on the outside of the flywheel and lots more heat.

Also sometimes the shock of hitting the wrench with a heavy hammer works better than constant pressure to pop them off.

It also looks like you might only be heating the splined part instead of the flywheel itself.

Fire wrench has my vote

That is not a threaded crank. Pull the bolts you see and remove the bolt underneath. It's a tapered shaft.
