you'd be surprised. I've already snapped a couple stubborn bolts and an extension bar. i'm getting that nut off one way or another

Wow me and Razorback agree on something... crazy..

Oh, get that socket, and get this sucker:

To get a flywheel off when it's out of the car, put the engine on the ground, put the socket on the 3/4" drive wratchet, and STOMP on the sucker. It'll come off.

i used a pvc pipe for my bar once and a FD cat (didn't have a metro one :))

my friend and I only used one hand. (yes it was on there good as the impact after 5 min didn't work)

the pvc pipe was prolly 5ft LOL

i may have to do that..my nut is fucked anyway..but it would be cool to own a big ass socket like that..

I used the sears socket and a 3/4 ratchett. Used a 6'pipe as a cheater bar and 215# of TX muscle and still nearly left my nut rolling around on the ground popping the bitch loose. Mine was still in the car so I took the hood off, used a small hand winch to twist my block forward and went at it from the top.

Razorback, I got a spare nut from an S5. Get me your address and I'll just mail it to you.
