Flywheel nut questions...
this week i will be putting my new motor in along with a bunch of goodies including a 9.5lb flywheel. First question what size is the flywheel nut? and i was reading through the Hayes manual and read that this the nut needs to be torqued to 280-300 ft lbs and was wondering how do all of you torque it to that?

flywheel nut --> 2 1/8th inch
get a peice of flat steel that they sell at lowes or homedepot and drill 2 holes in it that will line up with a couple of the bolt that hold the pressure plate onto the flywheel then you can spin the flywheel until the bar hits something solid and then go at the flywheel nut.

2 1/8, which is basically the same as 54MM. The exact torque spec is not all that important as long as it is close to 300 ft-LBS. I just use a 6 foot breaker bar.

A breaker bar, two foot long, with a 150 lb person hanging/standing on the end, how many ft/lbs? Yes. Bounce once or twice for extra measure.......or just go out and buy a torque wrench!
