You're going to need this exact tool to hold your flywheel in place. Then get yourself a 39in by 3/4in breaker bar with a 3/4in 19mm deep socket. It'll come right off.. Trust me.

 

There is already a post about this with my confirmed $6-$10 solution. Find it

 

The rope method?.. I never felt too comfortable trying that. Didn't want to damage anything internally if the crank bolt was seized... But hey, maybe I'm worrying too much.

 

Noo

 

Noo, but that works

 

Uhhhh.. That dirtbike piston stopper tool thing?

 

I'm not trying to spend 150$ on a metal tool to hold a flywheel

 

can you please explain the method

 

Put your transmission in 6th gear and have someone apply the brakes, then try.

 

Then go look through his 2,260 post to find the $10 mystery answer.

 

Ill tell you how I did it... 6th gear. Ebrake... Cut off belt... Strapped belt and tightly ratcheted down flywheel... Big *** breaker bar... Jack handle... Boom and boom.

 

^ The $25 way..

 

Breaker bar on the floor and tap the starter, it works well.

Thank me later

This one doesn't have the plastic at the end like I had, but the plastic broke off anyways and I had to use a blow gun to get the piece out.

OR get a stronger impact. I use a 1200ft/lb now (3/4). Paid $120 for it and it's beautiful

 

I'm curious which way he's gonna choose now...
