like they said flywheel bolt is easy, I hit it with a chisel and a hammer it came right off.
The front bolt was the bitch, I brought it to work, used my impact gun and my friends (both 1/2" Titanium IR guns), did not budge, went to my coworkers fathers house used his 3/4" gun would not budge thought it was caused by the 3/8" standard airline, so went to my friends house and his dad is a deisel mechanic, he had the big hose and used his 3/4" gun nothing. got a flywheel stopper and used a 6ft breaker bar and a friend and it finally came off.

I'm surprised the exhaust wheel on your turbo survived that. I don't know what seals you are using. I've done the same thing with both Mazda and Atkins seals. I'm on RA Super Seals now and have been quite happy with them. I've detonated twice and they haven't had an issue.

To everyone knocking on the hockey puck mounts. Stop. They work. Dont call em ghetto. Its actually pretty innovative. a hockey puck for a motor mount that actually works good.. thers nothing wrong in that. cheap, easy, and it works, what more do you people want?
buttt back on topic. i absolutely love the way your car looks exterior wise, not a huge fan of rotaries, but i do love seeing em all apart and they are crazy *** motors.

Keep it Up Hypertek! 
I remember first logging on to this site, your car has been by far one of the cleanest FCs on here. Its not a FC everyone may like but its something FC Owners should strive for. To have a clean, well maintained rotary powered machine.
That is something we all can agree on.

for the seals you measure yours and buy what you actually need.

alright cool.
Question regarding rotor weights. Both of mine are D. I read that it is safe to go no more than 2 letter differences in weight. My question is Im sure its best to go with both matching letters, now how much difference would going 1 letter different affect things? Say I find a C rotor to replace my D front rotor.
Another curious question, S4 NA rotors are 9.4 compression where as s5 TII is 9. has anyone went with S4 NA rotors in a S5 TII ? I read that it could make great power at lower boost levels as opposed to stock compression with higher boost. but with the added risk of being more prone to detonation.

). S4 (9.4) seems like a perfect compromise between S5 TII (9.0) and S5 N/A (9.7) and I already have a good condition set of S4 rotors, and a set of S5 N/A rotors (one has a spun bearing though). However the S4 rotors are heavier. I'm wondering if the weight benefit of the S5 rotors would be worth the "kid gloves" tuning approach one would have to take once the motor is built/boosted? The off-boost response would be great and you could make more power w/ less boost. However from what I've read detonation starts to become a serious concern when the boost starts increasing...however, in theory at least you should be able to make great power @ relatively low boost levels.
