Try heating up the heads of the bolts for a minute or two with a propane torch and then hit them a couple times with a hammer to loosen the threads a little. It worked for me on an incredibly overtightened flywheel bolt.

I used about 4 inches of some thin aluminium with a hole drilled at bolth ends. Bolt one end to the flywheel using one of the pressure plate screws. Bolt the other end to the engine with one of the tranny bolts. That will lock the flywheel in place really well.

They should not be that stuck, if so heat or a long 1/2 " breaker bar, did you try a good impact gun .

Are you using a 12pt socket?

you MUST use a 12 pt socket. use a flywheel lock or lock the crank @ the crank pully w/ a 17mm wrench. flywheel bolts are trqed to 87ft lbs stock. its a lot to break off if your not strong. if you can break em off, get an impact gun

I have this same problem i've been fighting with on an H22.. its nearly impossible,
and now i think i should have left the block in the car to take this off, however a friend told me about a tool that attaches to the wheel or the block and locks the teeth in place to remove the bolts, kind've like the octagon wrench for the crank pulley, which in itself isnt the easiest thing to do...

if you can, the best thing to do is just take the block to a place with air tools pay em 10$ to take em off,, might be a bit easier than fighting it, but if its in the car and not gonna happen.. then i'd recommend you try and find that tool.. use a 12pt socket, and hope your guns are big enough heh.

12pt 17mm, if you do heat the bolts up be careful of the pilot bearing, direct heat will ruin the bearing. And if you are having a problem with the motor spinning, hold it still with another breaker bar on the crank pulley side.

Exactly what I was thinking use a 12pt socket get a extra peace of pipe and extend it onto the ratchet and push down not pull up and they should brake fairly easy when I did mine I didn't even need a braker bar or anything they came right off
