i am pretty sure there was a thread about this a little while ago but i can't seem to find it....



how do i get the bolt of the flywheel without the thing turning and also is there any simple way to get the flywheel off without buying the removal tool. any way to make a do-it-yourself removal tool.

Well using an impact gun is the easiest thing to do to get the nut lose. You could use a pry bar to keep the wheel from moving but be careful not to damage the cases. If you are very careful with the pry bar you might be able to get the wheel off. Be careful.

to hold flywheel use a strap wrench , steel will work but a canvas is the best .

impact is best to remove the flywheel nut but you can do it by hand fairly easy too.

once the nut is lose and IF you do not have the correct tool you can lightly i said lightly tap the flywheel with a plastic i said plastic mallot tap on top turn flywheel and tap again repete .

in cases where flywheel is super on there you can loosen the nut and start the motor for a second and it may slip lose do not rev motor at all.

good luck.
