Flywheel Torque Specs, Are these right?
290-361 ftlbs of torque to install the flywheel bolt?
IIRC It took a 7 foot breaker bar and a lot of weight to get that thing off. It sure as hell was WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more than 290-361ftlbs.
I need to know the torque specs to reinstall the main flywheel bolt.
The manual says what I have above, but that doesn't seem right....
Lemme know..

Yeah agreed. I put mine on with a Impact and just hit it a couple of time to make sure it was good and tight. I didnt have a wrench that read 300+

is our flywheel a single nut? or multiple bolts like a normal car? dont' have my manual with em. i just think it's insane to need 300 FT-LBS 
to torque a flywheel bolt/nut. most i've see is 110 and that's on a BMW M3. just curious

Just some FYI

50,000 ft-lbs! The snap on wrench I used is a friend's and he picked it up at a garage sale for 50 bucks with some other odds and ends that go with the wrench. Deal of the century there.

54mm or 2 1/8"
And yes, ~300ft-lbs plus loctite (which is the other reason it's more difficult to remove than to put on). If you don't have a 300ft-lb torque wrench, do the following: Torque to 150, and then turn the nut an additional 1/6 to 1/4 turn.
