In Response To: shaft vibration (bill carlson)

I do have a few questions from time to time! If I replace the old coupling with a flex coupling, do you have any hints on how to loosen the bolts? They are pretty rusted and its really hard to apply leverage with a wrench or ratchet in such a confined area. Do I need an impact wrench, or is there some other trick of the trade? Also, where would I pick up a flex-coupling- the Yanmar dealer? Thanks again for the advice
