Help with Hacker C50 14XL ACRO Gearbox Removal
I have loosened the two set screws through the front mounting holes and can't get the gearbox to budge using two strap wrenches. I am assuming that the threads are normal (righty tighty). Any body out there with helpful hints? Will heating the gearbox with a torch (gently) help or hurt.

It's a lot easier if you make a mount bolted to the table, bolt the gear box to it, and use one strap to turn the can. Muscle it, it will loosen up, prob has some type of loctite holding it. I snapped a strap once trying to get it off. You'll get a lot more leverage.
