[QUOTE="MalcolmV8, post: 15046208, member: 8854"] I got another factory caged lower. 3rd one now. This one has only ever turned over a factory Eaton blower which is what I was specifically looking for. I attached it to my jig for pulling these apart, put a little heat on it and wow with one arm I took it apart with a regular Sears breaker bar like butter. Unreal difference, like day and night. The other two lowers that had been over stressed turning over that 2.9 Whipple where so seized up half the threads were trashed. As mentioned above I heated them almost glowing red, destroyed 5 + breaker bars and sockets using a 6 foot cheater bar on the breaker bars and beating down with a BFH to get them apart. My point. If your lower has been turning over a bigger heavier blower be warned it may not come apart. BTW if you grab an Eaton and spin it over by hand and then grab a 2.9 its unreal how hard it is to turn the 2.9. I have no idea why the Whipple is like that. [/QUOTE]
