Anyone know how to get a flywheel off?

[doughboy18718]

I have all the bolts out, but can't seem to get it to budge. Is there anything special i need to do to it to get it off? As much as i want to just muscle it off with a pry bar, i don't want to chance puncturing the oil pan of messing up another vital component.

Heat flywheel around the crank and penetrating oil should do it. :thumbsup:

I'm going to assume you've already done this but I'm going to start with the obvious.

Have you removed the 6 bolts in the center of the flywheel?

If so take a block of wood and put against clutch side of flywheel. Tap with hammer. Rotate flywheel repeat. Keep rotating flywheel.

It sounds like it may have frozen to the end of the crank.

Be careful that it doesn't come off and catch part of you between it and the ground. It is heavy.

All it took was some PB Blaster and a little elbow grease (and a BIG pry bar) :reddevil:
