I am trying to take the front cover off to look at the cam. I assume you have to remove the flywheel pulley before that cover will come off. Do you need an impact wrench to get it off ? Not sure how else I could hold it.

I don't like the rope down the cylinder trick. It would be OK if the cylinder was right under the spark plug hole but it is not which makes it a pain as far as I am concerned. I pull the starter off and use a large (7/8" works) box end wrench between the ring gear and the bell housing. Just put the wrench in there and turn the crankshaft some by hand. It will lock it up. I use that for removing clutch and flywheel bolts also.

One other thing Roger, you do not need to remove the pulley completely, just pull it out enough that the front cover will clear it when removed.

I think I'm stealing this from Dell, but he would say something like "stuff some soft 1/4" clothesline rope down any sparky hole and then gently rotate the engine around till the rope won't compress and then it holds it all tight while you r&r the nut. Make sure you leave some rope hanging out of the hole so you can retrieve it!

I think the crank bolt is 1 1/16 put a breaker bar on the crank with the proper size socket and tap the starter button and it will break the bolt loose.

That sounds like a slick way to go but I"ll stick with 5" or 6" of sash cord down a spark plug hole. I have visions of launching that breaker bar through a wall. That 1/4" line takes too much down a hole, must be 10". And stuffing that line gets old fast. Besides, I use that bigger ID sash cord on my double-hung window weights.
