I am struggling to get the gearbox sprocket nut to shift. The engine is bolted up in the cradle, which is clamped to the bench. The chain is gripped in the vice, which is bolted to the bench. The socket I have which is a good fit is 33mm, but not long enough to project beyond the shaft sufficient to get a T bar on it. I have ground 2 flats on the socket which provides a snug fit for an 18" long 32mm spanner. I have soaked it in easing fluid, and even applied some heat, although I was mindful that could damage the oil seal. I have tried to shock it with a wack on the end of the spanner with a lump hammer. Still it will not shift.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
