Went up to Mammoth Lakes, CA for a few days. Wife gave me a guided fishing
trip for Christmas. Great guide. Learned a lot. Fished the Owens River
in a couple areas. Caught a lot of trout. Much more than I have ever done
on a stream. All C&R as it is a wild trout area. No planters. Also
camped at Lake Mary, and kayaked fished the lake. No catching was done by
me. I think because of the temperature all were deeper than I could get
trolling without down digger. Most were caught on bait fishing on anchor.
Good trip, except truck decided it needs a new water pump. Starting to
drip. Tool store was out of 3/4" breaker bars when I stopped and checked.
Have to remove the Harmonic Balancer and is some where between 250-500 ft.
Pounds torque to remove. Will break a 1/2" bar. Ordered bar and socket.


We liked Mammoth. This is from the hiking trail up on the mountain
above it

Do you have a big impact wrench. That is the trick for getting the
balancer nut off. You need the 3/4" one tho, not that little 1/2"
harbor fright stuff.
I suppose a Thunder Gun might do it.
