corrupt Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I got the flywheel off my 4g63 by jamming something in the teeth at some point around the block so it didnt move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNAMUCK Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I used a shit socket once on a ratle gun on a flex plate bolt. It split, and rounded all the corners off it. Had to weld a bit of flat steel to the head to get it undone. Try using a powerbar, but slide a bit of piple over the handle, to increase the force.

bubblegoose Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 nah jamming it up and a power bar is still abit rough just get a quality 6 sided impact socket and set rattle gun to full noise if you round it off with a good socket it was never going to come out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abarth Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hold the other end of the crank with a spanner to stop it moving then get someone else to use a power bar to remove the flywheel bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwdlancer Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 have rounded one pretty bad with the rattle gun so gna have to weld a flat bar to it to get that one out.and other ones havnt moved atal.gna buy a quality 17mm 6sided socket and give it another go.just letting them soak in inox to try lube them up a bit.i need to get the bastards out asaP!!!!!!! and then find me a manual flywheel and new bolts. if anyone noes were a flywheel is for sale thatd be a hugehelp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 A rattlegun should have gotten them off piece of piss. I usually powerbar the fuckers without a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty_leppa Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 make sure you use a impact 6 sided socket, as you dont wanna fuck it on the rattle gun. i assume its on the floor, so if you do use a power bar, put the spanner or whatever on the crank pulley and rest it on the ground. dont even bother trying to hold it as that works arse. if that still dont work a little bit of heat will help. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikuni Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 even if its a little bit rounded you might be able to get away with using a decent quality single hex socket, just bash the shit out of it to get it on there and then rattle it to death. if that still doesn't work you could try heating it but I guess the area it is in will be a bit difficult to heat sufficiently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I always use an old valve (very strong) and poke it through a engine-bellhousing bolt hole, then use a screw driver into the teeth of the flywheel using the valve stem to hold it against. Works every time. (+power bar and socket of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewGuy Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Does it need heat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblegoose Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 got oxy-acetylene? that should do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemi Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 jesus if you need heat to get a flywheel bolt off yu have problems could have loctite on it for some unbeknown reason that dosnt help things much , and as its been siad use single hex sockets for bolts like that , your doing bloody well to round off a flywheel bolt those are like grade 8 bolts lol.

rwdlancer Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 they rounded pretty easily all i needed was a rattle gun and it rooted them.managed to get the flywheel off today had 4 unrounded bolts that i put a ring spanner on them and about a one metre bar on that and got them off good with a bt of lubeing up.then uesd a socket for the 5th one wth a bg lever and the last one was too rounded so just cut the bastard off.where would be the best place to get new flywheel bolts ya reckon??
