If access to the bolt is difficult (and when do problems occur in easy
places anyway?), you might want to practice a couple of times on one that's
more accessible. By the way, these tools are also great for removing stuck
valve seats in old style faucets, when the previous handyman has stripped
out the surfaces that the valve seat tool would normally grab.

I removed the part that was in the way of the lowest bolt (seen in the
picture I linked. I didn't remove it on this engine, as I was able to
get that bolt out easily.

Im sure I'll be able to figure something out, as thankfully I don't
need to "fix" this boat till next year (in the sense that I'm not
paying $$ to registure it for 4 months. I know in Oregon (atleast) you
pay for 2 years...and they don't pro-rate it.) So if it sits for a
while, I'll be ok with it. I'll just cover up the engines, and take out
my frustrations on something else.

To all those who provided some, thanks for the info.
