Flywheel Lock

BLKTOPTRVL · 05-02-2008, 06:09 PM

Going to remove the flywheel tomorrow.

I have a peice of steel, about a inch or so wide and 3/8" thick. I will wedge the steel into the flywheel and drill holes where I can run bolts into the rear plate. See Pics.

I don't think this will break/harm anything, but if I cannot get the FW free, I will order and wait for the MazdaTrix FW tool to come in the mail.

Well, I guess I should try the compressor.

And you own an air compressor?
That's no excuse!

I bought a compressor for this job. But so far, I had not needed to break it out. So, I will go ahead and set it up and try to break loos the front and rear nuts and bolts.

Use the compressor (I likey air tools) if anything you get to have some fun.
