So do I 'need' the counter hold tool to break the bolt loose enough to separate the the halves enough? I tried putting a couple of screws in the metal plate surrounding the bolt and holding those with pliers while torquing the center bolt but no luck (I actually bent 4 of those little allen heads). I also tried hitting the oil nipples pretty hard with a hammer but haven't been able to separate the halves at all.
I kinda don't understand what the 'counter hold tool' would do since the bolt seems to be connected to the annuls bar and is not actually connected to the ring that surrounds the bolt on the same side of the bearing.
Sorry if this is confusing, but I appreciate the guide and all the work you put towards this.
