Can any tuner shop handle installing an aftermarket clutch/flywheel combo on an FD ? Or an i better off taking it to a rotary specialist ? thanks

 

Most tuner shops should be able to do it...

 

Check with Staff's, they're great guys. And "always" stick to a rotary shop! Anyone who has never taken a flywheel off a rotary is gonna be stumped!

dude i work at an econo lube & tune and we do that ****!

 

I can do it for you if you like. I have all the tools needed to take the nut off and have done a few clutches before.

I'm in Surrey...

Personally I'd stay away from places that call me "Dude" or advertise that they have all the "skillz" to do the job .
Otherwise, I don't see anything too difficult for a decently equipped and experienced shop.

 

before you take it anywhere , ask them if they know what a pull clutch is .... and if they have a 56 mm socket ...

 

54 mm?

 

Any shop that does clutches is fine. As long as they observe the pull clutch issue they should have no problems.

As sgtblue says 54mm socket and the flywheel brake tool or they might do some damage.

 

2''1/8th as well

I acutally just pulled my flywheel off last week. what a pain it the ****... heat, bang, more heat, impact, more heat, breaker bar... then finally it came off...

 

yeah sorry 54mm

 

It took my leg (I can squat 400+ lbs) and my cousins arms (can bench 290) to get that sucker off. It didn't take that long though.

 

I hear you both...this is from a few years back --> https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...ighlight=owned
It's the quick application of torque that works, and my tired old impact (making maybe 100 ft/lbs. didn't even come close.
These go on sale occasionally for about $70 and eventually took that same nut off (and a few others since) with ease. Also works on that front hub nut too. If you've got air, well worth the price IMO.

ya it's the quick inputs that breaks it loose. I was reefing on the breaker bar and nothing was happening, but when I started to push really hard, then let off then push again for a few times, that's when it finally broke loose.
