How the hell do you get the flywheel off?? Theres no way to lock it or anything. Im stumped

 

 

You can get a flywheel locking tool, or get a friend to lock it with a screwdriver in the core-plug hole.

Alternatively you have to take the sump off and stop the flywheel turning with a block of wood.

You'll have the same problem torquing it up again too

 

I assume this is the locking tool you mean? its the only one i can find anyway Hows it work tho

 

When i look mine off i had a mate hold a large spanner against the bottom crank pulley on the other side while i un did the flywheel bolts, bit of a strange way to do it but it worked

 

i used the battery clamp, take one of them off and put the bolt through the bellhousing bolt (top under the dizzy) and wedge the edge of the clamp into the flywheel teeth. did the same thing for tightening it up too.

 

Use a impact gun

That tool works by locking into the ring gear and pushing/pulling in the opposite way to the bolt your removing. If that makes sense.

Like you would if you were un-doing a nut and bolt with 2 spanners.

 

The only problem with this method is you end with a mojorly overtightened pulley bolt then....

There is a much smaller tool about which just bolts onto one of the bell housing holes, and has a tooth which locks into the flywheel ring gear.

That other tool looks a right handful to use

 

Its ok i sorted it in the end! What a pain in the arse tho

 

Agreed, that tool looks a right mare to use and would need two of you.

This is the one you want



If its just for a one off though im sure you would be able to make something like it to lock the flywheel.

 

just jam something in somewhere like a screwdriver or summit and then gruanch um off
