So I've removed the 8 bolts holding on the flywheel and I'm having trouble getting it off of the crank. I've tried prying with a screw driver with no luck. Is there a particular place where I should pry? How about tapping the back of it with a hammer/mallet?

Thanks guys.

 

i used a bf screwdriver and pryed in difrerent spots.

 

I used a Slide Hammer. Came right off

Where exactly did you pry? Between the block and the starter teeth? I was trying to be careful, because I'm worried about bending the CPS ring.

Matty, that slide hammer looks really neat, but I'm going to try a bit more with a screwdriver (because I'm cheap!)

 

Remove the spacer
Install 2 crank-flywheel bolts just by a couple of threads.(so the flywheel doesnt pop off & hit the ground)
And pry between the oil pan and the back of the flywheel with a pry bar/ pipe etc.. yuh done If that dont work wak the crap out of it with a rubber mallet

 

I borrowed a slide hammer. Worked perfectly
