Bob's mention of a pipe wrench reminded me of a story that Ack told us on day on coffee break:  Seems Ack had just been hired as a helper in a shipyard.  The big boss sent his out to tighten a large nut on (whatever).  Ack went out and checked the job, figured what he needed to make that sucker tight, and finished the job to his satisfaction.  Later in the day the boss took Ack out to check what he had done and asked Ack what tools he decided was necessary for the job.  Ack said he used a four foot pipe wrench with a four foot pipe with an inside diameter that allowed the pipe to slide down the wench handle and that he grunted on the wench until he almost broke the (whatever).  The boss walked up to the "Ack tightened" nut, put his thumb on one side of the nut and his index finger on the other side and tightened up that nut two more full turns barehanded.  End of story......

nothing like a pipe wrench - and from the looks you were lucky ( or  skilled ) to get what you did!!!!

Once the top plate of the damper was removed I could get at the hex bolts with a pipe wrench. All came out except one that snapped. Some one warned me this was possibility. I will fix that once I get it to a bench. But that let me remove the rest of the plate to reveal the bolts holding the fly wheel onto the engine.
