IH CC 782 PTO removal...

[bturbow]

I have a 1986 IH CC 782 with electric PTO. I want to replace the PTO. I found the 2 bolts and 2 nuts that hold the PTO to the Kohler KT-17S Series II engine. There is a 5th bolt in the center of the PTO that apparently connects the PTO to the engine crankshaft. I have had no luck loosening that bolt, as the crankshaft turns when I turn the bolt. Please advise the correct procedure to remove the center bolt. Thanks in advance. Bruce in Austin, TX

You need to use an impact wrench to loosen the center bolt.
