Loosning Flywheel

B2r3y · 02-24-2003, 01:08 PM

Hey guys i have my tranny dropped right now fixing to put in the second new clutch for this month. The first time i didnt get my flywheel resurfaced but im going to this time. The problem is i cant budge the bolts in the fluwheel to remove it even with air tools ( 275ft/lbs) or with 2 wrenches. I know some of you out there had a hell of a time wtih this and if not how in hell do i get it off ?

I'm really surprised that even air tools won't take them off. I used a 2 ft. 'breaker bar' (end of my jack handle) with my buddy on another bolt applying pressure in the opposite direction and we were able to get them all off. So, I guess I would try a breaker bar technique.

Good luck,
E
