Hi,

I picked up a cheap S4 keg a while ago and just got around to tearing it down, first time doing this to a rotary so It's not a huge issue if the engine never runs again. If I can salvage it great, if not I figure it's a good learning experience.

Anyway, my problem with the engine is that somewhere along the way someone decided to rebuild it using loctite.

After using an impact and heat, I had to cut the flywheel bolt off (I tried a 6ft pipe, ended up twisting my engine stand, but the Mazdatrix flywheel stopper didn't break!) and now I can't get the eccentric bolt out.

As I can't cut this out, I'm open to ideas on how to get moving on this again,

Thanks!

Mike

 

a better impact.

 

That's why you never cut the nut off. Find another nut and put the flywheel back on. You can't remove the front e-shaft bolt without it. Buy a better impact. It's a tool that will pay for it's self.

 

I got an Extra flywheel nut MIKE.
Let me know if ya want it.
also if you contact me,I can tell ya HOW to get BOTH nuts off the engine.

 

Heat that bolt up really good. Use something strong like another 6' piece of steel to hold the engine with so you don't bend your engine stand. Impacts are overrated IMO.

 

Thanks for the advice!

 

Got it loose!

On the advice of my father in law (credit where credit is due) I soaked the eccentric bolt in 3 in 1 oil. Let it sit for 2 days and with just a socket and a 2 foot pipe, it came off.

Thanks to all those who replied!
