So im having a bit of trouble getting out the 10mm 12point bolts in the clutch plate because the flywheel keeps on spinning, anyone have an idea or have had experience with some techniques to stop the flywheel from turning..without buying the flywheel tool...the motor is out of the car.

 

put a breaker bar on the crank pulley bolt to hold the crankshaft from moving and then loosen the clutch plate bolts, voola

 

Or place a pry-bar handle in between the crank and block with the oil pan off. If the motor is out, and you have to do it on your own, that is the best way I've tried.

 

check your local autoparts stores, you should be able to rent the tool

 

best way without a flywheel tool is use the crank pulley tool

 

i fabbed a piece of 1/4" steel with 2 holes
1 mounts to the trans mount hole, the other to the flywheel.
its a tool so i keep it in the tool box.

 

put a trans 2 eng bolt back into the engine

use a screwdriver to put in the teeth and have someone pry it against that bolt

IIRC thats how i did it, or some variation of it

 

Power tools are your friend.

 

I ran with this one and it worked like a charm. i just wedged the breaker bar handle on the stud from the lower mount and all those lil 12 points came loose with a lil force...Now Getting the Flywheel out is a bitch...anyone have an tips on this...im trying and trying and it won't budge at all neither of them..

 

ummm neither of them.. ????? how many flywheels do you have ? if the motor is out or in the flywheel is easy to remove.

 

well this is the think...I took the tranny off...I removed the clutch cover...and now im staring at a flywheel with 6 of those 12point bolts in it 17mm...this is what im having difficulty removing..

 

Im trying to get the flywheel off to get it onto the newer motor i bought..which has an automatic flywheel...im turning that newer motor into a manual..get me?

 

ohh sorry ya that makes more sense if the can be a bitch for sure if you can find the tool for holding the crank pully well removing the bolt thats your best bet but i have used a prybar on a trans bolt in the flywheel teeth . impacts are also your friend hear good luck i just finished my auto to manual swap so i'v been there .

 

When I removed my flywheel I used 2 breaker bars. One for the crank pulley and the other for the flywheel bolts. I also had another person to help out. If that doesnt work, I suggest using a impact gun

 

Are you trying to remove the pressure plate and clutch disk from the flywheel?

 

get a electric impact gun u will always use it if u work on ur car... sears has one not sure on price but it worth it

OR

get a $500 snap on electric impact gun...

 

rigid impact gun i got from home depo has be awesome to me. i usally use a prybar in the flywheel disk when im taking the crank pulley off thier a bitch
