how do i torque the bolts if the flywheel keeps moving??? im a one man team! need a some help and some technics.!!!

 

use an impact.. it will get the bolt as tight as ya need it. and the flywheel will be fine.

 

yea thats wat imma do!!! everyone keeps tellin me that i need to torque them to 75-80 lbs-ft or w/e and its a bitch!

 

Put a 1/2 inch socket/ratchet on the crank pully bolt and have it lock into the frame and then tighten them.

 

impact is so much easier... make sure you get a 80flbs torque stick on the impact b4 u put the socket on... that way you dont over torque the bolts and break em.

 

yea thats wat i was going to do but the motor's out lol!!! just use impact??

 

wowo never knew bout that.... torque stick how much they run?

 

If its out of the car make sure its on the floor and put the ratchet to the floor. I usually get a cheater bar and put it on the ratchet to make sure it doesnt move.

I like this idea better than using an impact. less chance of over tightening.

boy, i can tell you are a beginner tuner. impact guns are great, and can make jobs alot easier. do not rely on them too much, this is how you will strip bolts and break them. trust me i know.

i agree w/Luserkid. this way you have less of a chance of over tightening or even worse, breaking the bolt.

 

yea i got a friend to hold the bolt on the other side of the motor and used a cheater bar, then i tighten the flywheel to like 75 ft/lbs and did the same to the clutch... but with 25 ft/lbs of torque. thanks for the info i got the tranny on and now bolted on the starter and the clutch slave. and now for the other brakets that where on the bottom of the motor.. thats a job for tomorrow gonna go watch a local football game with the wife lol!!! here's one for everyone!
