Everything came off no problem except the clutch and flywheel.
The engine is in my storage unit so no compressor or electricity ... and my cordless impact gun which is rated at 100 ft/lbs won't budge the bolts ... and when I try to use a socket all I do is turn the flywheel / crank.
I guess I could just jam something into the teeth of the flywheel to stop it from turning, but I'm loath to do that without knowing first if there's a better way.
Suggestions please and thanks.
If you have a buddy who can come and help, putting a socket and long handle wrench on the front crank pulley nut will stop the engine from turning while you twist the flywheel nuts. Other than that, a LARGE flat head screwdriver or prybar holding the teeth of the flywheel is suggested in the repair manuals I have.
