is there an easy way to keep the flywheel from spinning when taking the center bolt off of the flywheel? is there any good writeup on how to take off and reattatch the flywheel? any help would be great!

 

two bolts,put one in the deep hole in the SIDE of the flywheel(theres many holes but thier is one deep one)

screw other in tranny hole on engine.
turn flywheel until they come in contact.
tighten off.

 

buy the tool from mazdatrix, worth its weight in gold

call steve... you n00bahh. haha, sorry. (seriously though)

 

p.s.

why are you taking off the flywheel?

 

Yep, comes right off, don't need anything holding the flywheel still basically.

 

p.s.

why are you taking off the flywheel?

wait.. I just remembered, I JUST had the tool that you need. I gave it back to Steve last night. Just call him and I'm sure he'll let you borrow it.

It's like a little metal bracket deal with teeth on it that lock into the flywheel so it can't rotate.

 

for resurfacing. j00 t3h n000b1!!

 

that costs money.

 

Get a long piece of angle-iron, drill two holes in it to match the flywheel, thread two bolts through the angle-iron into the flywheel, turn the flywheel so that the angle-iron contacts the frame.

 

my bad i thought everyone who does there one work would have one
once you have air tools you never can go without

 

i rented an impact gun for 15 bucks and my neighbor had a air compressor so it worked out awsome took about literally 2 seconds but carrying the motor by hand across the street with snow and ice on the ground took the longest time haha

 

impact gun. Its that easy
