Oil pellet bolt owned me last night. LOL
I took a 450 ft lb hammering torque gun to the bolt and it just laughed at me. I thought about it and figured leverage is way much better then a torque gun. I used my big rachet and a wrench to extend my leverage and it popped off in like 2 seconds. Take that biatch!

Lol, I just went through this too...made a 6' 1x4 with holes for 2 of the flywheel/pressure plate bolts & dowel locations (keeps the engine from rolling around on the ground), plus the handy-dandy flywheel locking tool from Mazdatrix, and STILL had to hop on the 2 1/2 foot breaker bar....95 ft/lbs with locktite & 1" worth of thread contact surface equals about 500 ft/lbs!!!

i had the same experience with the lug nuts.....took nearly an hour to get just the 4 wheels off....after the wheels were off..i didnt feel like working on the car anymore....

make an offer, but its gotta be over shipping which will be like $10 prolly
EDIT:
Its above the driveshaft. I think it got covered in floordry and thats what the whitestuff is-- should wipe right off and the paint should still look relatively new. (bought last fall, never used it-- just too it out of the packaging)

come to think of it, I think we used our hands to hold the flywheel while we air-gunned the nut off... I'll have to ask ed when he gets back to see if he remembers
