flywheel nut stuck, really
the flywheel is stopped. Ok so I've tryed alot of methods. 2 differant large impact guns, electric not air I don't have air but a dewalt and a millwakie. a braker bar, and my foot, a braker bar and a floor jack I've used heat, PB blaster, in every combonation of about methods. I'm out of ideas. I'm about to just cut the ****** off, or buy a air compressor.

Yeah, that didn't work. and I used a 3/4 inch dewalt. all it did is start to chip flakes off the bolt. I also went for longer than 15 seconds. more like 45 to a whole minute. I've done this before with less. never had this stuck of a bolt.
How long can a heat it before I do damage?? I'm not worried about the flywheel it self. I'm willing to sacrafice that.
Just to make sure its not reverse threaded. it doesn't look like it.
Anyone ever use the loc tight freeze stuff? or know where to buy it?

took me a little time to take mine off.
I tried it with my impact, not a strong one, about 400 lbs, nothing. for an hour something.
then I heat the nut a bit with my small torch for maybe 30 seconds, heat the NUT, not the shaft.
finally, hit it again with my impact it came right off.
/end my story

Apply heat. A good 5 minutes with a propane torch running brazing fuel and the Loctite should be released. Then most decent electric impacts should be able to take it off. You can heat the nut for a good long while without any damage. You'll be replacing the rear oil seal anyway as it is, and you should take this time to replace the pilot seal.

I'm not worried about heating the nut itself I understand that I'm trying to get it to expand, just I know the E shaft will be heated as well and don't wish to fatiuge the metal. its aluminum, easy to warp I'd think. I know I'm only heating the bolt, but that heats gonna go into the e shaft. Yes I am replacing the rear main seal, and pilot bearing, I got the pilot bearing out already.
I have a 3/4 air impact, just no compressor that can run the damb thing. I'll try more heat. If not its getting cut. I'm sick of not having my car. its been months. I still need to do the rear end, and misc other stuff. summers here.

No, the eccentric shaft is steel. Put a magnet to it. The long cheater bar is how I got mine loose, but now that I have a badass compressor I built I probably won't have to dick with that any more. I just picked up the 1/2" version of the Earthquake impact gun, it'll probably work using a little higher pressure.

I've taken off at least 3 different flywheel nuts on 3 different blocks using an 8 gallon air compressor with a 400 lb half in impact. Since the flywheel is held by whatever method you are choosing to use to keep it stationary, I would just use a big jack handle or large fence pipe as a cheater bar over your half inch rachet.

I've got some of the freeze stuff, a new bottle of propaine, This bitch is coming off..... I hope.
Huh, I just assumed by looking at it that it was aluminum. so shiny. Never really looked at one up close. I've managed to not have to I'm gonna leave it at that as to not jinx myself.

put the engine in the back of a truck and head to a tire shop, bring the socket. go in and ask for their help. may cost a soda if anything at all.

ditto
a 3/4" didn't have the *****? i have removed literally about 400 of those flywheel nuts with my 1/2" Mac air impact. no heat necessary ever.
chisel and hammer works well if you have no air tools/compressor or have an electric impact that is pink and has no nuts.
