I was thinking a few minutes ago... I'll bet it'll be 100+ before finish point.

Here's a few pics of the flywheel coming off. 

I needed to remove it for multiple reasons. 

1. The big thing is that I was hearing a scrape-ish noise so I figured the magnets were loose. Yepp.  

 

2. Also while we were in there might as well remove the last piece of tin and the starter. 

 

 

Setting up the wrench.

51" long,  3/4" drive breaker bar was a pretty good choice.

My computer started making a squeaking noise with dust and fur coming out the vents. Then a message popped on the screen.

 

"Actual work is being done on Colossus! Hurry before you miss all of the exciting action!"

No need to hurry It will be another 6 months before he thinks about putting it back to gether. I didn't say he would put it back together in 6 months, I said before he thinks about putting it back together.it.

Speaking from experience… You don’t get fat dumb and happy by being last in line!  
 

by the way, suppah’s almost ready!  I just double foil wrapped the cow and added glaze to the pig!

There's a short rumble of it on my YT about a year ago if it'll hold you off a bit.
