yep, 14mm. Didn't have it in front of me when I was typing, but that's the one with the scuff marks from me trying to break them loose

Impact wrench will wear out the inside of the bolt to were the socket will fit too lose. Be carefull. I do it all by hand.

I agree with mike. I also sometimes worry about what a really strong impact will do to the crank? If the shock is bad for it???

Guys, thanks for the advice. I picked up my 40" 3/4-drive breaker bar last night, along with a 1-1/4" x 12" pipe + couplers + reducers + 1" cheater bar (unfortunately no one locally had 1-1/4" pipe over 12" in stock, and that is the smallest size that will fit over the breaker bar). I set up one of the motors I'm parting out on the ground with a jack stand under the driver's side, and figured I'd give it a shot with just the breaker bar first....and add the cheater if necessary. I have to say, with a short tug, the 40" breaker bar pulled those bolts like they were barely there. I used the impact to get them out once loosened, so it all worked out.

Thanks again for the massive breaker bar suggestions, as it fit the bill!
