2 1/8 inch socket
Where the hell do you guys get a socket this big (for teh flywheel)? I can't find one that big in the parts stores around here, and even the shops don't have a socket that big.
I've looked online, but even then it's iffy. Got any places to go?

yes that brings us to the next problem you will need a good breaker a large pipe and a good fat friend to help hold the engine down. Unless you have a very good impact. I usually have to take my engines to a truck garage to have them zipped off (you might try a truck stop, late night, they will have the socket and offer to get the guy some taco bell for the job) thats CHEAP

I've got a 5 ft. breaker bar and 6 friends that can help at damn near anytime I need...
I think I'm covered.
I always look stuff up as well as I can before I ask, so I know what's up most of the time.

Well I don't but my nephew does and I was right there. After a trip to the hospital, he then discovered the wonderful world of air guns..

$270-625 isn't a money range I can just throw around.

Hell, sometimes they red tag these bitches down to like $30.
If you can't afford a new air compressor, you can find used ones in the classifieds every week.
$100 will get you a damn good one.
Majority of the air compressors out there are made by Devilbliss (check the metal "tag" on the tank, so quality is all about the same for all the consumer grade stuff - i.e. Sears Craftsman, Campbell Housefield, Coleman, etc.
I usually try and get like a 20G to 30G unit with at least a 3HP "oil-less" motor.
This should cover almost anything you throw at it with your car short of shooting paint.
I like the Sears Craftsman (2-stage?) 175psi units myself (~$300).
The hardest part is trying to store the damn thing. :P

If you don't want to invest in air tools, then there are also many electric impact wrenches on the market. DeWalt makes several models up to over 1000 Ft-LBs. The 250 Ft-LB model is commonly found in home improvement stores for less then $100. Generally this will remove the nut but it's probably a good idea to go one step up and get the 500 Ft-LB model.
I have a 250 Ft-LB electric impact and it's always done the job.

I understand why it would be better/safer have an impact for this job, but if I can just take it off now with a breaker bar and be done with it, I'm going to do it. But I'm sure some time in the future I will be in the market for an impact gun.
And rotorforce, I don't know wtf your cousin was doing when he was using a bar, but when I'm using a huge breaker bar, I make sure that mother isin't going anywhere (ie. one person on each end).

Yes I agree and the cheapest way is STILL to take it to a truck stop in the middle of the night and buy the guy some taco bell. You guys need to read that he is saying $30 is a lot
Remember we were all there one time in our lives. My way requires no purchase of tools that you may never use again (if he loses interest in rotaries he will never need a 2 1/8" socket again)
By the way holy crap 25 posts about a socket!!
