eccentric shaft hub and flywheel questions
ok so we are trying to get the eccentric shaft hub off the front of the vehicle right now before we pull the engine (89 rx-7 gtu), does anyone know if this is a normal or reverse thread nut ? also where do i get the special tools needed to pull off the flywheel ? does anyone in the area have them that i could borrow instead of buying them for one time use ? thanks for the help.

Flywheel removal is covered in the FAQ.
The front eccentric nut is 19MM, normal thread. It's normally 90 ft-lbs and secured with Loctite. Best be to remove it is heat it up cherry red then use an impact gun.
