Flywheel nut. Auto to Manual coversion
Is the flywheel nut the same for the auto and manual? What size socket do I need to remove this giant nut?
Yes, I am still doing research for my auto to manual conversion.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks,
I wonder why it is not metric. My giant green manual doesn't say what size it is. The Mazda RX-7 Performance Handbook says 2 1/8" in one paragraph and then right next to a pic of the giant socket it says 2 1/2" so I was confused.

I already ordered an ACT prolight flywheel that comes with the correct counter weight. I found it for 375 shipped on E-bay.
I also ordered the ACT Exteme Street clutch for 530 shipped off E-bay.

I have another question. Is the Stainless steel line offered at stores for the clutch, a replacement for the hard line that connect the clutch master and the clutch slave?
Isn't there only two lines, the rubber one from the brake reservoir to the clutch master and the hard line to the slave?
I don't have everything gathered up yet and the sketches in the manual are pretty crappy.
Thanks,
Brady

What do you guys use to hold your flywheel still? In the manual it show some special tool that probably cost a million bucks.
In case you havn't figured it out yet, I have never changed out a clutch.
But I have installed everything else for my single turbo conversion myself.

It's what I used (about $22).

Another option is to buy a piece of angle steel or aluminum from Home Depot, drill two holes in it to bolt it to the flywheel with the pressure plate bolts. You could also use an impact gun, if you have access to one.

My 93 Workshop Manual only show two lines in the clutch system. The rubber one from the brake reservoir to the clutch master (which doesn't have threaded ends it uses spring type hose clamps) and the hard line that goes between the clutch master and the clutch release cylinder. I have my service manual right in front of me and I can't find a rubber line with threaded ends that could be replaced by the stainless one. I guess I am retarded. I am asking so many question because I am ordering all the new parts I can. Thanks,

How does the stainless line attach to the reservoir? The stock rubber one attaches with clamps and the stainless braided looks like it is threaded in the pics. I want to make sure I know what you guys are talking about, since I am going to order that line from a rx-7 shop and all the other ones from the Dealer. Dont want to order the same line from both places. Thanks,

Ok, I called mazdaformance. I found out there is acually two hard lines. And the braided one runs between them. My crappy manual sketch doesn't show me two hard lines so I was confused. Thanks for trying to help me guys, ( I rode the short bus to school ).
