Flywheel

[S3ute]

Hello from Brisbane.

Removing the flywheel from a petrol 2.25l engine. Have the retaining bolts off and given it a tap etc, but it isn’t budging so far.

Any tips?

Cheers,

Neil

yeah they can be a bitch...

i have used a block of wood and a block hammer before today, also a pry bar

one i actually had to heat up with an gas torch..

once they move, keep the fingers well clear :p

Hello again.

I pulled the starter out and hit the back of the flywheel with a brass drift. First tap and it freed - had the retaining bolts partly installed to prevent it falling out.

Cheers,

Good thinking!
