Fly Wheel OFF!!

1362 Views 6 Replies 5 Participants Last post by  Blindstitch
I'm replacing the rotor and I need to take off the flywheel off. The instructions say to put on a special tool to lock the gear. Any suggestions on getting around this? All i'm doing is replacing the whole rotor and flywheel.

Strap wrench on the rotor will also work. You could try a breaker bar with a 17mm socket on the front of the drive shaft, after you remove the round cover on the transmission cover. I didn't have much success with that, but then again I wasn't using an air wrench at that time - got one now. The oil pan bolt I bought at the auto parts store stripped it's threads and was useless. Ended up getting a M20 bolt from Fastenal which is now in the toolbox!



If you have the front cover off, you can use a penny that would be wedged between the drive gear/clutch basket gear to hold it in place. I have done the latter and had great success,and Shep was the one to suggest that.
