Boom! I win.
I won't lie, I was getting real nervous.
I backed the truck up, attached a ratchet strap to impeller, tightened her until i thought she was about to fly apart, tapped with a hammer...and nothing happened.
She hung in there.
I tightened the strap until i was sure she was about to pop, crawled underneath with a big ass hammer and a 2x4 and whacked the crap out her 3 or times...and nothing happened.
I was mad and going for broke this last time. 2 whacks with all i had and she popped out onto the blanket I had waiting to catch her.
Good grief that was hard.
What I notice is when I went to fit her back in and make sure nothing was wrong, there is a cushion when inserting her back in that is forming a vacuum. I assume this is the IMS bearing I grease as directed each year.
Question now, is it supposed to feel like a cushion when reinserting?
I'm going to break into the good bearing tomorrow and make sure I understand which parts and bearings to order to rebuild both.
@Beachbummer - thanks for part sheet. Any idea which engine is Jet 1 and which is Jet 2? I'm guessing some parts are threaded different. I'm sure I'll figure it out when the boxes come in and Nut A won't work on Shaft B.
Thanks for everyone help.
