well

after all my stuffing around and damaged knuckles i cant get the fly wheel off - i am borrowing a firends impact driver air gun, but i still am stuck on locking the fly wheel - can anyone pm some help something visual if possible

thanks in advance

Where are you?

Locking the flywheel? Do you mean to hold the flywheel while you undo the bolts? I use $40 electric rattle gun (Dicksmith, Jaycar, Supercheap) to undo the bolts. If I don't have a rattle gun, I use a large screw driver on the wheel teeth, braced so it doesn't move.

yeah thats what i am doing but keeps slipping - but i have a rattle gun coming this arvo hopefuly works -

i am more worried about doing it up (dont they need to be done up evenly 150nm)? guess that is the main time i need it to be locked - guess ill keep trying to lock it with different ways

When you do them up, put a socket on the crank bolt and brace against the body. Just do them up like a wheel, it's not super important like head work.

Yes the ol socket on the harmonic balance locks it good.

And yes use a torque wrench to do it up properly, its real tight and you know you got it with the torque wrench.

If it comes off it can cut your legs off, so dont fk around.

Ps, i never got a flywheel off without a rattle gun.

I AM WEAK LOL

No no no, its impossible without real good leverage while your jammed under there and can hardly move your arms let alone get a good strong push/pull.

Eiji is just very persistant, and had a very long breaker.

Dont forget to be super clean with the clutch, or it may slip.

Anyway, the hard bit is getting the box back on, that will test your patience. So be careful with the input shaft, its easy to bash it into the clutch plate or springs while trying to get it into position.

Doing the clutch up evenly takes ages too. But worth it.

Good luck, hope it goes smoothly.

YEAH NPC told me to use some thinners or break cleaner on the clutch and or fly wheel surface to be clean as possible and clean the shaft and put very little amount of grease on the shaft..

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
