Cant remove flywheel!!! Help!
OK, this thing was on there GOOD... I have to get the damned flywheel off and well, it seems one of the bolt holes, well actually both, STRIPPED!!!
NOW what the hell can I do? Tried WD-40, HEAT, ETC, I just cant get it to come OFF!!!
Now I cant use my puller because the hole stripped out. This seems like some hard *** steel / iron so I am not sure i can drill them and tap them again. Is this going to be my only option?
Any help, ideas, or tips will be useful! thanks!

I just finished doing this, and to be honest, unless you have the motor secured really well you're not going to be able to do this in your garage.
You can overcome it yourself, when there's a will there is a way, and spend a few hours trying to loosen it.
or you can go to your nearest tire/auto/service center, and slip them 15-20 bucks to do this.
Just make sure you/they have the 2 1/8th inch socket.

Any girl can do this! Read the faq, look at the video.

I used an 8# sledge, just tapped the surface exactly the way the girl in the video did it-worked like a charm.

The hammer method always works.
I usually work on the engines while they're sitting on a tire on the floor or hanging from the chain on the end of the engine hoist.
Get the nut off with an impact, put it back on two or three turns, then wail on that **** with a dead blow hammer, prybar against one of the tension bolts, or even some well placed sledge hammer blows....
Hell, one time I got pissed off and used a large rock. I was wearing a ripped shirt at the time that only held on by one shoulder and ate one of those big *** turkey legs like you get at the Renaissance Faire for lunch. I went around the rest of the day scratching my pits and yelling, "RANGOR DESTROY!" like a ******* caveman.
Just release some rage on it. It'll come off.
