The nut is below the level of the case. No way to get a regular wrench on it. And I needed an impact to get it off.
I sued a long breaker bar and cheater extension. I jammed a screwdriver between the case and sprocket to keep the shaft from rotating.
I don't like the hammer and chisel even thought it works pretty well, but it sure tears up the nut!
Impact drivers are great. For whatever reason, I didn't even think of using mine. Probably because I'd have to find it, then drag the air hose across the garage. The other tools were at hand. I hate having to get up if I'm already down. This is one of those old geezer complaints.
