Flywheel Lock

[Lawrence Coppari]

I have to change my water pump and need something to lock my flywheel. Does anyone know if Lisle or anyone else makes a device that will lock the flywheel? My 951 is an '86.

Why not just get one from our host, or Rennbay, or... There are many sites that have these things.

Because if I can buy one locally I'll get it sooner and with no shipping charges. The leak is not easily visible. I have coolant exiting between crank pulley and power steering pump when engine gets fully warmed up. During warmup, there is no leakage. I'd like to get everything off to make sure it is indeed the pump. If I must, I'll reinstall the cam belt and alternator belt and run the engine just to make sure it's the pump that's leaking. I installed this pump in 2001. It has about 80K miles on it and quite a few track events. When the leak starts it pours at a pretty good clip.

I also have a welder. I can probably make one but buying one is easier.

If I can find one locally there is no shipping charge and I'll get it sooner. Furthermore, I am not totally sure it's the pump that is leaking. There is no leak unless the engine gets quite hot and then it comes out fast. From beneath, the streams fall between the crank pulley and power steering pump. The inside of the timing cover is all dry. So what I want to do is remove the back cover then reassemble and run the engine so I can satisfy myself it indeed is the pump that is leaking. I installed this pump in 2001 about 90K miles ago. The car has been tracked quite a bit and is also a semi-daily driver. It's probably the pump but I want to be sure.

I have a welder and can probably make a flywheel lock but buying one locally is the easiest route.

Don't know what the heck is going on with my posting. Nothing happened when I attempted to post but now I see I have three posts saying the same thing.
