help, i need my flywheel off by morning.
I'm in the process of putting in a new clutch. But need to resurface the flywheel. The only place in town can only be there untill noon, and i can not get it off, i need to stop the flywheel. Anybody know of anything that might stop it. I am worried to use my impact wrench, i am affaid it will hurt the engine somehow, or will it not. Please help me

You can use an impact. Also you can lock the flywheel in place with a large socket wedged between it and the edge of the rear iron.
Edit: Also, after you get the nut loose, leave it on just by a few threads so that the flywheel doesn't fly off while you whack it like it just called yo mama fat. Seriously, hit it really hard, preferrably with a rubber mallet. Last time I took my flywheel off I had more trouble getting the flywheel itself off instead of the nut.

I got that socket wedged in there now, so that will work.
a question about using my puller. i have one of those three arm ones. should i use the teeth on the flywheel or the clutch plate bolts for the anchor for the puller
also what do i need to torque it nut when i put it back on.

Dont use the puller on the Ring Gear, you'll tear it off, I just did that on mine, but I dont care since I have a ACT 9lb flywheel on there now. Use the 2 holes in the flywheel next to the E-Shaft nut to pull it.

For claification, pry on one side with a prybar, and whack the opposite side with (heavy object). Be careful not to hit the flywheel surface. It should come off easily.
My personal method of getting the flywheel nut off is to take the engine out, haul it over to a local truck shop, and have them use their 1" drive impact guns on it. They usually have a sledge and prybar hanging out as well. Front pulley, flywheel nut, and flywheel, all done in 10 minutes or less.

Turn, grind, it's a recessed clutch surface. Any competant auto machine shop can do it.

Hey, if I can get the flywheel off with a REGULAR hammer in three swings, a BFH should have no problem unless you weigh like 50 lbs. or need some serious weightlifting for muscle gain...

when i took the flywheel of mine it was a serial pain in the ***, its only easy if it has never been screwed with. Took three compressors worth of air to simply get the nut off, and mazda had kindly failed to machine the inside of one of the boltholes for my puller, which even then barely managed to get the damn thing off. ive had times when they were cake, and times where you start looking for really small welds or pins or something cuz that **** aint movin
