Got a great deal on this Norvel AME .061. It has never been run but the propnut is broken and stuck in the crankshaft. It looks like I get one more chance to get it out before drastic measures are needed. I have applied liquid wrench last night and I intend to remove the carb and o ring and heat it in the oven at 350 degrees and give it one more try with some vice-grips. Any other suggestions before I get started?

Thanks, John

Removing the crank is a good Idea. I'm kind of thinking that if this does not work I will just replace the crank rather than trying to drill it out. I assume that the .049 and .061 cranks are the same (??) and they are only $10.00.
