Guess what? I didn't realize that the nut was left hand threads, so hit the impact and snapped the end right off the crankshaft.....OOOOOPS!

I haven't repeated that one, good lesson learned many years ago.....
I didn’t know either!
I just loaned my piston stop out to a coworker about a month ago. He just couldn’t get the clutch off of his Stihl. Luckily he didn’t snap it off. Wait till I tell him Monday.
