Flywheel removal

[ken martin]

Are there some good tips out there to get the bolts out?

[smestas]

My flywheel bolts took my neighbor and me (him with the wrench and me holding the engine steady) just to break them loose . After failing with a impact air gun we had luck with a large breaker bar.

If they were put in with loc-tite, some heat will help.

The bolts are very shallow and therefore easy to stip using a breaker bar. I've used heat and an impact gun successfully every time

What Chris said, heat then impact gun.

just took mine off, they were hard tyo get off at first, then I heated them up with a torch and they slid right off...

The last ones I removed came out supprisingly easy. I used a lock on the flywheel, supported the end of the breaker bar with a wood block and held them while a neighbor pulled down on the bar.
