So im tryin to remove my flexplate bolts to put on my flywheel for my 5speed conversion on my 90 DA and i only was able to remove 4 the rest are like super seized
We put a torch to them and used a 1/2 cordless snap on impact with a twelve point 17 and the rest wont budge.

Any ideas? why the hell are they so tight all the ones that i removed didn't have loc tite or anything on them they havent been touched since honda assembled it


(90 integra auto virgin 136,xxxk)

 

bump .......any ideas?

 

Use an impact wrench. Tighten and loosen. Sometimes it helps. Use PB blaster.

 

used all that i just ended up cutting all the heads off and they came out by hand

 

PB blaster FTW! Worked on everything for me.

 

PB didnt help me this time it fails lol it has many times b4 tho

 

What bolts did you end up using?

 

Be careful cutting the heads of those bolts, if the stud part gets stuck in the crankshaft, you may end up with much bigger problems. The HELMS says to use Loctite when installing a flywheel, so there may be some on the flex plate bolts as well.

I've found Aerokroil to be more effective than PB blaster.

 

i bought some OEM honda flywheel bolts and through the auto ones away plus you need flywheel bolts since the flexplate ones are not long enough

 

Might sound dumb but we couldnt get some tranny bolts off so we got it so we could put a pole on the ratchet , came right out
might not work just my 0.2

 

Like a breaker bar?
