Re: crankshaft spacer
I'd try a little carb spray to loosen up the gunk and a few swipes with a compothane hammer.

Re: crankshaft spacer
If that doesn't work, spray it with PB Blaster, then hit it again with the compothane hammer (on the outer surface).
If it's still tight, get a small muffler clamp that will fit it, and attach it to the outside of the spacer. Then use a slide hammer hooked onto the clamp to bump it loose. You could also use a two-jaw puller instead of the slide hammer.
Once you first get it to move, it should come off fairly easily.
Put a little anti-seize on the crank before you reassemble it, and you won't run into this problem again.

Why is it that there's seldom time to fix it right the first time, but there's always time to fix it right the second time???
That's not an oil leak
That's SWEAT from all that HORSEPOWER!!
