Questions & help about rebuilding.
 
Do I really need a dou pin puller? After watching the rebuild dvd I thought I would be able to use a long bolt and just yank that shit. will this work?

What is the best way to remove old gaskets without damaging parts? I've been using a knife but it takes a really long time since I'm being really careful.

Can I use a torque wrench with a 2 1/8 inch socket to remove the fly wheel or do I really need to buy a airgun?

Thanks in advance.

1st gen lug nut/stud as dowell pin puller

razor blade of course.


cold chisel with flattened end and hammer to loosen the flywheel nut. thats the cheap way

thx ted. life saver! what time you wanna come by? I was trying to look for a 2 1/8 inch socket for the flywheel but that shit is huge and hard to find lol.

Atkins said 8mm stud puller hard to explain.. I got wrenches 8-19mm and sockets 8-19mm as well

You don't have to pull the studs out.

yeah man.. I mean removing stubborn bolts I don't mind since I tend to double wrench for leverage but when the damn thing rotates with the nut... that is just plain ARGH :wallbash:
