ok.. just have one question...

where can i get that device that will let you grip the flywheel so it dosent spin?

i know i can get one the bolts to the motor that i think mazda trix sells but im looking for one i can use on any car. i used to use one in my auto shop.

it just grips on to the teeth.

any one know where i can get one. sears dose not have one and harbor freight dosent eigther.

 

I saw my Dad break flywheel teeth with one of those and an impact wrench...

I just use a spare engine crossbrace/front mount thingy. You know, the piece that bolts to the front cover with 4 bolts and then goes to both motor mounts? Just take a bolt for the clutch and use that to hold the mount to the flywheel, and then use a bolt thats supposed to hold the tranny to hold it to the block, then you can impact all you want .

EDIT: ****, didnt see that you wanted one to use on ALL cars, my bad, sorry.

 

no problem. atleast you tryed. yea im not intending to use it with an impact gun. i just need to hold it in place wile i take off the bolts for the counter weight. and i would like to have it for when i do the flywheel swap on my friends 240. and who knows when i might need it again for another car.

 

I used a piece of flat stock about 3ft longx1 flat x1/4 inch thick, measured and drilled holes that ran across the flywheel, bolted it up and let the long end rotate up to the underside of the car. Used an impact to get it off and a huge torgue wrench to put it on. Works great...

 

any one even know what the tool i need is called?

 

Flywheel stopper?

 

ok i went to harbor freight, and go twhat i needed...

its called... "flywheel turner" go figure lol.

wouldent it make more sence for it to be called flywheel holder or stopper?

eh any ways it was $6.99
