This is the tool that Turbo's trying to show you:

Mazdatrix has that same wrench, and a nice flywheel stopper:

(scroll halfway down the page.)

They work great - just swapped my flywheel this weekend.

First, it's not a flywheel "bolt", it's a flywheel "nut".

Second, I assume you have read the FAQ? This is well covered already.

Third, just go to a real tool store. Grab the Yellow Pages and look up "tools".
