removing flywheel bolts (sorted)

Postby AE85.6 » Thu Dec 29, 2005 1:51 pm

im assuming these normally have loc tite or similar on them ? cause man they dont budge at all,

anyone got any tricks to getting them out?
if they have loc tite or something on them i assume i have to heat them up, but sadly i dont have a oxy torch handy so any other way to remove them ?

cheers

it shouldn't be too hard to do by hand, just lock up the crank pulley, and to free them give sudden impacts on your ratchet/breaker bar, rather than steady force.

Lever bar for locking it up and really long power bar (or short one and a decent bit of pipe :P), or a rattle gun

I farted round for an hour solid with a breaker bar, got the rattle gun on it and they were off in 1 minute.
