Default Flywheel Lock

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.

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.
