Is there a known trick to removing the bolt that holds the water pump impeller? I tried wedging a penny between the housing and the impeller but that didn't work - there was anything to "catch" and lock the penny. I can't find a universal that will allow my 1/2 drive impact wrenchy to accept a 1/4 inch socket and lastly, I can't locate a 8mm (I think this was the size, although it could've been smaller) socket that is 3/8 drive.
I finally got it off by holding the impeller with a strap wrench but bent the blades in the process.
It's even more of a challenge using a torque wrench to put the thing back on to the required specification. (I'm not sure if I got it to the correct specs)
I suppose the question doesn't just pertain to the KX65 but to any bolt that keeps spinning and you can't use your impact wrench because it's too large to work.
thanks.
