Well I found a good way to remove the Crank-bolt. I already had the lower oil pan off so I just placed a metal bar straight up from the ground up to the first crank-throw. It worked perfectly. Just got a 27 mm wrench and gave it a few good raps with a 5 lb sledge and it lossened right up. YAHOO! I think the rest is downhill now. Thanks for all the other ideas and I'll let everyone know how my repair goes,..Brant
