The new blade on the hacksaw was the answer for me. It was not quite a hot knife through butter, but about 30 minutes of cutting did the trick. I think I ground down 3 or 4 misc dremel bits trying to clean it up.

So how important it milling the flywheel? And how best to remove the two little mechanism with the springs on the front of the flywheel? Dremel again?

Thanks,
