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 have, used a loooooong breaker bar

[D.I.Y. Mik]

Yeah, it can be hard to get the room to swing them under there.

But your like me.... dont give up easy.

[Reese69]

I AM WEAK LOL

i think i might have it i had some advice with locking the crank but i was looking at it wrong so i think i will try it from the front..

rattle gun coming tonight..

thank you very much

very much appreciated

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.

[Reese69]

yeah gotta get past this point first..

i will ba haveing help with the box will be two of us holding and a 3rd guiding it then my mate can get his little fingers in there and do uo the starter motor bolts..

one step at a time

[Reese69]

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..

I have one of these as well. The case split but you can still hold it together to use it.
