I'm trying to take off my flywheel so I can put it on the other motor, and I've managed to get all the other bolts loose except for the last one. It's the biggest bitch ever. I've tried visegrips which is my only alternative at the moment to try and get it off, but it just rounds the bolt off more. What the hell do I do? 87lbs FTL!!!

 

oke here is how i got mine out when that happend it takes a wile oke take a smaller socket about one size under then take a pice of paper traice the socket side and cut the it out of the paper stick it on the bold or glue it down and use a small cut wheel to make the smaller sice in the bolt then after ur dont incert the socket and there u go its out takes some time but its worth it if u dont want to expletivee up threads on ur crank

 

Use a pipe wrench they do wonders . I have used it for many stripped bolts and it has always worked.

 

lol i tryed a pipe reanch lol dude its bad lol its a 50 50 that it will work it grips nice but the screw dosent have enouf to grab on to thats what sucks

 

You have a couple of choices.

You can try and use a chisel and a hammer and try to loosen the bolt by hitting just the edge to loosen or...

You can also use a hand grinder (I know it sounds crazy) Grind off the head of the bolt but do not hit the flywheel. All the torque is in the head of the bolt once you grind it off the bolt will easily back out. I have done this many times, and it has worked every time.

 

find one socket smaller that you dont care about, hammer it on there good, attach breaker bar and it will pop right off. may want to hit it with a good about of pb blaster and some heat before

-or-

if you have a welder, tack a nut on the head

 

Some good suggestions here. Also remember, HEAT is your friend!

 

tap it out. Center punch it, then Drill a hole. then extract it and your done.

 

since its already ruened weld a pipe wrench socket bolt to it...come on now

 

got er out with craftsman Bolt-out. Best investment ever!!
