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 ****. 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

 

Thanks. Any input on removing stubborn gaskets?

 

okay i have the socket and breaker bar to for the flywheel socket what thats that other **** your talking about?

 

im off friday i could swing by and see what damage you have

 

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 **** 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

 

Here I found a pretty good example.

i don't have a damn clue what the **** your talking about...but i will say getting those damn mm sockets is and was your best investment

 

You don't have to pull the studs out.

 

what are you talking about flywheel first then the studs to crack the block....oh wait you were trying to take a short cut...hahahahahahaha what a first timer

 

first time for everything

btw I'm just following what the DVD says

 

I feel you on that one lol

 

so ted you gonna lend me a hand with that 2 1/8 socket? my dad bought the biggest cresent wrench he could find but it didn't work

 

yeah i will help you out tomorrow... i have court after i will come through

 

you might be in for some fun with that flywheel nut and the front main bolt

 

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

 

Give me a call first I got a job interview at 3:30.. thanks man

 

send me a pm...those bolts are not so bad..just time away from getting to the nitty gritty of the motor is all...

 

ROFL at the image of someone using a crecent wrench on that rear nut....hahahaha

 

yea it looked so funny my friend took pictures with him holding the 18" wrench haha
