Use a cheap hand impact driver.
Trust me, it is the only way.
Bikes parked out front mean good chicken-fried steak inside.

+1 on the hand impact. And hit it with some confidence; it will break loose (usually).

I was leary but I did it with a 2.5lb hammer and impact.
Ill be darned. Ive seen them broken off in the case before
so didnt want that situation. Ah well now I just need to put the motor
back in and get hooked to the rear to work on the clutch I suppose.
