    Same thing on my ’72 Evinrude that had seen nothing but salt water use. Worked on pulling the flywheel nearly all day and half the night before trying the melted wax approach. A little heat with the torch, a small gob of wax and it popped right off. But assuming this is the same ’66 Skitwin you originally posted on back in July 2016, it sounds like this one might take dynamite to get it off.
