Dear all,

I recently burned the left cam-shaft on my 1989 w126 (oil starvation due to clogged oil tube). I cannot seem to get the flywheel side tower bearing to come loose. According to the book they are supposed to be 50 NM but I have used more force than that trying to remove them. I do not want to damage anything on the engine, and am unsure as to the amount of force that I chould be using.

I would appreciate any advice.
