Epp,

Eldon McFarling and I helped someone do this at RMIHR just a few days ago...
they failed with a breaker bar, and running my impact wrench from my
on-board air (w/o a tank) didn't cut it...

Eldon put the tranny in park, put a breaker bar on it, and like I woulda
done, put his hands on the frame rail, feet on the bar, and pushed... came
right off.
