I know this is not a new subject but:
I just tried removing one by tapping on the corner with a hammer. The plate came off but left the collar on the crankshaft. Appears to me that the plate was not welded onto the collar but just upset in three places. So there is no way the collar would come off from pulling or prying on the plate. Am I missing something here? Are these two pieces supposed to be welded together, or....?
Any advice appreciated.
