sheared flywheel key??... again?!?!?!??!

You can make your own flywheel holder. Take a piece of flat steel and drill two holes in it the same space apart as the holes in the flywheel. Put two bolts in it so you have two pieces of metal (the ends of the bolts) sticking out of your handle (the piece of flat steel) to hold your flywheel.

will try that.. i think we have a puller at work simmaler to that, ill look tommrow

thanks

i'm feelin ya right now on the loot sitchiachin, but just fyi.....
the clutch holder/flywheel tool works on both sides, not just the clutch side

if i could get my hands on a welder i would make my own, im gonna look threw the specialty tool section at work and see what we got that i can use to get this job done right,

The tool used to hold the water pumps on the newer model dodge's might work. It's a spreader wrench. You'd have to install two bolts into the cutouts but it would work.

KD tool part number 3471 (or the equivalent tool at your place of work) and then put a bolt in each of the little cutouts and tighten a nut down on it so the bolts are sticking out to engage the holes in the flywheel.

i think bronco79 made his own like civic stated way above
cut, grind, bolts/nuts, no welding required

i used a ratched strap and a bolt to hold the flywheel still so i could get the nut off..

put abolt threw one of the flywheel holes, hooked the ratchet strap to it, than hooked it to the frame in front of the a arm.. worked like a charm! except bending the bolt

good improvising !!!!!!!!!!!!

That really doesn't hold it tight enough to torque it properly though. If you bent the bolt, you didn't have enough material holding the flywheel. Just try to make a flywheel holder. Either use one of those water pump holders or go get you some flat steel bar from ace hardware and a handful of bolts. Either way should run you more than $10 and it'll allow you to torque the flywheel properly.

i know its not enough to hold it, but it was enough to allow me to get the flywheel nut off, i was lookin at flywheel/clutch holders, looks like a vise grips with a tab off each end, i think i seen something simmaler at work, but im crafty! ill figure something out
