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 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.
