Hey, Im doing a clutch job and I also am going to put it a Fidanza flywheel. Im having some trouble getting the flywheel bolts out. I do not have air tools, so does anyone have any tips? Is there any other way to keep the flywheel from spinning besides putting a crowbar in the teeth? Thanks.

 

PB Blaster, it does the same as WD40, just better and goes for about the same price. Also, something that I do when I can't get a bolt out is to hit it straight on the head, hammering it lightly after spraying penetrating oil on it. Don't know if it legitimately helps any, but it usually gets the job done for me. Do you have a friend that has an air compressor to lend you? Air tools make life alot easier when muscles can't cut it, my busted knukles know that very well, lol.

 

Almost forgot, to keep the flywheel from moving, try to have a buddy go to the other side and hold still the crank pulley in addition to the crowbar as you work on it.

 

WHY??

there is a special tool for this, and its a hell of alot easier that doing that. And the tool itself is cheap.

 

Do you have any idea where I can find it? I tried Pepboys just know and they said they dont have anything like that. They said impact wrench or hold it with a prybar.

 

A tool to hold the flywheel or the crank pulley? Never heard of it, the most I kow of is the crank pulley remover tool, makes it easier to remove the pulley but don't know if it can keep it from rotating. Is that the tool you're refering to or something else?

 

Yea the tool is just a flywheel turner?? or spinner?? I have used it mostly for automatics, for turning the torque converter to unbolt it, but if you dont have air tools then it can be used to hold the flywheel, for using a breaker bar or whatever. As for where to buy them you would just have to look around. I found them here at an autoparts store for 15 bucks or sooo.
