Flywheel Nut Removal
Well i called Mazda to see how much the SST to keep the flywheel steady would cost.... **** over 100 bucks.. is there any way to keep the flywheel from moving.. i have searched but have only come up with how to remove the flywheel after the nt is already off...
Get a piece of steel flat stock, 1/4" thick, 1 to 1 1/2" wide, and about 4 feet long.. Home depot sells this stuff in the hardware department... Drill 2 holes in one end, so that they'll line up with two adjacent clutch bolts. Bolt the bar to the flywheel, and turn it until it hits the ground/lift/something. Torque away.

I, too, used the toothed mazdatrix stopper.

You can take it off with just an impact.. that's no problem.. but you really do need to torque it back on with a breaker and a flywheel lock. I wouldn't trust an impact gun to install a flywheel gland nut.

. I have it on video some where on this forum. maybe ask wargasm. he has all the video from my motor swap. And it can be put back on with impact if you are very careful. I have done it twice now and no prblems yet.-Rikki

Impact gun takes off free spinning bolts(like the alternator pulley bolt) so it will work for the big nut on the flywheel. Putting it on, I just like to use the tool though.

I have always used a impact gun to install and remove it. I would think that the torque that a impact gun provides on it's highest setting at say 140 psi should be enough to hold the flywheel bolt on. I also use loc-tite too though.
