I cannot get the 5/8 nut to break loose.
I'll try more PB Blaster tomorrow and an impact wrench if I can get access to it.
I have a couple concerns.
1. The starter is completely rusted on the backend, I expected something like that. But the whole thing has a fluid leaked all over it.
Its not oil (not black). Not transmission fluid (not red).
It certainly looks like something is leaking since this thing is completely coated. And if you look in the previous post, its all over the heat shield as well.
Yes I have discovered more dirt dobber nests--like a never-ending, creepy treasure hunt.
2. My second question is about bolts.
I think I have a missing bolt at the top.
There appears to be a big bolt at the bottom. This is a 5/8 head which I cannot break loose.
Anyhow, I'm still amazed its taking me so long to do something that seems so simple.
Course, I also spent 4 hours working on the pressure tank and water lines. I need a new pump house, stronger hands, and smaller pipe wrenches.
