So I'm rebuilding my d16a6 and doing a mini me conversion. I have removed everything from the block but the crankshaft and flywheel, I can't find a way to remove these bolts. I know that it is recommended to use an impact wrench but getting torque isn't the problem, keeping the crank from moving is and keeping the block in place, would it be safe to put the crank Pulley side in a bench vice (with the crank stem somehow covered against scratching/marring?

thread one traNNY bolt back into the block, than using a prybar hold the flywheel with the teeth against the bolt and loosen them off

I'm sorry thread one in and prop the pry bat agains that and put the bar in-between the teeth to hold it in place? Thanks for the help btw

you can stick a screwdriver in one of the holes that the clutch bolts onto by the oil pan..it will stop the motor from spinning...

Well I'd still need a way to secure the block to the ground or in place while torquing the bolts off

I take a piece of steel angle and wedge the legs of it in the teeth of the flywheel and prop the corner of it against the block. One hand on the angle iron, the other used a breaker bar to loosen the bolts. Can be done without help if you can keep the motor from tipping over. I had it still attached to the hoist, so just set most of the weight on the ground and it doesn't move too much.

take a screwdriver and stick it into one of the hole that is on the flywheel (look at pic). the screwdriver will get stuck on the block. there should be a triangle on the block and you could also stick it there.

my way of doing it is have someone holding the crank bolt with a socket and ratchet... just my two cents...

i take the bolt off of the front tranny mount, the one with a wierd little "thing" on it, im not sure if all have this but both my hatch and my parts crx did, thread that onto a tranny bolt then into the blovk and it fits into the teeth of the flywheel

thread a bolt back into the where the gearbox mounts, then one into the flywheel where the pressure plate mounts. you can bolt a plate across those two bolts or just put a screwdriver between the two.
