What kind of tool is used to take off the flywheel, And where can I find it at?

 

A 12-point socket (I believe it's 12mm, but it's been a while) and a ratchet, available at almost any decent hardware or auto parts store.

 

make sure u have the flywheel locked in place so it doesnt spin. get craftsman

Just have a buddy stick a crowbar or a screwdriver in one of the teeth to hold it still.

 

cool thread, I'm in the process of removing it also.

Do the flywheels need to be torqued down to a certain specification? If so, what spec?

 

easy way to lock the flywheel jam a pipe on the tooth and prop it against the floor.

thats what i did after trying to jam it with a screw driver and the ******* thing sliped and my thumb got caught in the tooths split my nail real good lmfao
make sure you use thread lock

Helms says 87 ft. lbs. on the flywheel and 19 ft. lbs. on the pressure plate

Use an impact. Won't turn. Craftsman sells electric impacts, which aren't as strong, but cheaper than buying an air impact and an air tank.

 

17 is what it is, and yeah its the higher number socket points. The good one

My dad was thinking the same thing when we did my car, i had to show him to ease his worries.

thanks for sharing...i hate blood!!

 

make sure you tighten the fly wheel kinda like a tire, tighten across and work around...

me and my buddy put a d15b in his 97ex and we didnt tighten the flywheel down to spec i guess, well 3 days later is fell off! we had to have the car towed
