Default So what's everyones trick to stop the flywheel from turning when changing your clutch out ?

Just spent a whole lotta time pulling my d-series out and prepping my newmotor, was going to pull the clutch/pp/fly tonight since I have a new clutch but I haven't looked at how I'm going to stop the flywheel from turning when I undo the pp bolts since I'm tired as hell...whats the trick with hondas ?

I searched also, couldn't really find anything...just people saying it's easy to change a clutch heh

Have a friend hold a pulley tool or a 17mm on the crank bolt.

take a ratchet and socket and put it on the crank pulley. put a long hollow pipe on the handle of the ratchet to make a sort of extension for the handle. rest the new "handle" on the floor, that should lock it from turning.

Put one of the tranny bolts into the motor and use a prybar to lock against that bolt and one of the flywheel teeth..

http://www.c-speedracing.com Clutch Install - Put a large screw driver against one of the transmission dowels, and stick the head in between two teeth.

Basically the same thing as this:<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by tgreaves &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Put one of the tranny bolts into the motor and use a prybar to lock against that bolt and one of the flywheel teeth..</TD></TR></TABLE>

In my tired state I forgot I had a crank pulley tool lying around from my old civic, so I digged it up and used it...everythings off now. Thanks for all the good suggestions.
