Thanks for this link, Shifter. My pal wants to pull the trigger. I mentioned the guibo to him and he was all for it, given the car's age.
We spent Monday morning with brass gun bore brushes and acetone getting the old thread locker out. Flywheel on. New red in the threads. Hand twisted the six bolts in a quarter inch. Went to get the 17MM socket to get them bottomed to start the torquing sequence. The Locktite set in the 60 seconds I was away.
Wrenched them out and we get to do it again. On the upside, the parts store refunded the money for the stale Loctite. Argh. At least we are both old so we knew it was time to step away.
Here is another pic of his garage. The car is a bit compromised for a solo shot.
