How thr fuck are you gonna lighten the flywheel without a balance machine?
You do know it goes on the end of the crank?

Stu, what the fook are you trying to do??
If you try and lighten it yourself and not have it balanced, you could destroy the bottom end of your engine along with you nice new Clutch.
In my opinion just bang that clutch in with the old Flywheel or get it done properly. I know what I would go for.
