Flywheel Questions

Ok, as some of you know im doing the clutch stuff right now. Im at the point where I need to remove the flywheel. When I got the clutch off to see it, I almost cried. Thats the biggest nut I have ever seen on a car! I checked Alldata and apparently its 260 - 300 ft lbs. What size is the nut that holds the flywheel on?

Anyone have a lightweight flywheel I can buy in 2 weeks?

88 na

On that nut, I borrowed a socket from an auto parts store..A guy I new worked there. to buy it was almost $100 for that socket. I think it was like 54mm. Just put a ruler on it and measure it. As for the torque, I have an impact wrench with torque settings based on air pressure. I have a 600140 lightweight ACT flywheel with the S4 counterweight($150 new) you would need. flywheel is new. both cost me about $275. You can have both shipped for that. let me know, stephen.

89 - 91 = S5
