Rather than making a new tool thread, any comments on this for getting off flywheel bolts? Would it be up to it? $169 on sale for jap made rattle gun, 425ft/lb (so about 575nm?). The $40 supercrap ones are 310nm....

transquip link

should be fine Adam - as long as you have the air pressure for it

there is a tool out there, but i cant find the name - its has a 3/4 inch fitting for a socket with a small arm attached to a swivelling long arm

you hit the long arm with it setup like an L so the down force from the hammer blow cracks the nut.

if i find it i'll post up

For flywheel bolts I've always just used a 1/2 inch breaking bar and socket...

How did you hold the crank still? With a rattle gun i can just ignore that issue. And its a good excuse for buying new toys!

Hey, you guys might be able to answer me.

Cylinder hones, whats better the flexible ones (with all the abrasive balls) or the ones with 3 straight stones.

Ive used the 3 stone ones before with pretty good success but never tried the flexi ones.

Cheers

You can get a tool that bolts onto two of the bell housing spots, and it locks into the flywheel.

I believe the Volkswagen one fits.

I also just had some piece of steel around that fitted the above job perfectly.

3 stone hone will take alot more of the bore out

ball hone is just to de-glaze the bore or to remove surface rust if oil ran away from one bit

You're talking about one of these; right? post-61153-0-84460800-1307628247_thumb.jpg Sidchrome Impact bar. Only ever seen 1/2" drive though.

Features

  • • Creates impact to shock frozen nuts loose
  • • 8 x torque multiplication with a single hammer blow
  • • No compressed air required
    I have one; Best. Tool. Ever. Well, except for ratcheting ring spanners...

You might do better, but at least an indication.

Tie-rod end/pit-man arm puller, long gone are the frustrating hours of hammering the crap out of, prying, heating, WD-40'ing etc. Put it on, wind in the bolt, CRACK, done!

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
