emaster Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I am trying to remove the flywheel in my car, and but the flywheel turns when I try to torque the bolts off. Should I take off the radiator and use a socket to hold the crankshaft in place while I unbolt the flywheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 You dont need to remove the radiator to get a socket on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boardkid280z Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 You can just pull out a spark plug and shove a bunch of rope into a cylinder, then when you try and loosen the bolts the rope will keep the motor from turning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X64v Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 not on me but I can get one... I justt need to know which one to get 1 1/16". It's actually a 27mm but a 1 1/16" fits better (26.7mm). Get a Haynes manual for your car. It has most of what you need to know for basic maintenance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
