i'm trying the flywheel off, but i don't have a big enough socket for it. does any one know what size it is so i can go [ick on up. thanks

 

i think its 21/8 or 23/8 i cant remember

 

I ran into that problem a little while ago it was hard for me to find a place here in ottawa that carried the socket, I ended up having to get it from snap on.

Its a 54mm socket or its equivalent 2 1/8 '' they both work perfect.

hope that helps

 

yup that's perfect thanks

 

This is the tool we used on mine. 2 1/8" socket on a 3/4" rachet and 4 ft of cheater bar.

 

And this is the breaker bar we broke before we got out the big ratchet. Moral of the story: use Craftsman tools.

 

a coal chisel and a hammer works well too, but a socket is the ideal tool, I was in Sears one day and they had a socket for 23.99 CDN, use it and return it

 

that would work, what is a coal chisel?

 

That big socket I got from sears and used an impact wrench to get mine off. came off pretty easy.

if you don't have any air tools, the ghetto-cheesy walmart electric "impact wrench" will work also

 

air tools make everything easier

 

Go to your local Sears store (or sears.com) and buy a 3/4" drive 2-1/8" socket -- it'll fit the nut and it's relatively cheap at around $20. If you have access to an impact wrench (1/2" but 3/4" is preferred), than you spin that nut right off. Otherwise, you'll need to get your hands on a 3/4" T-handle or breaker bar, and you'll probably also need a cheater bar, to break that nut loose.
