will i need a special tool to hold the crankshaft assembly from turning when i torque down on the flywheel bolts?

 

no

 

thanks.

 

What keeps it from spinning then?

 

So I guess this means you got a new clutch too

I ordered today something too haha.

 

After torqueing them down nicely, use an impact gun at about 100ft/lbs and blast away. You will not break anything.

Please tell me you are using new flywheel bolts.

 

so after i tq them to the specs, hit them with the impact?

no, i was told by JWT that i didnt need to get new bolts, i was gonna buy some from performance, but i was told not to, he told me to use some red loctite, and tighten em down, and they will be fine.

 

I think he meant get them on decently tight, then hit it up to 100ft/lbs of torque. Oh, and might as well get new bolts!

 

Correct. New bolts are a good idea, especially if you have reused then more than once.

The crank is forged 4340 chromoly and I promise you wont break that or the flywheel by using an impact. Just get the bolts decently tight, then hit it with the impact at "about" 100ft/lbs in a star pattern.

 

There should be instructions with the flywheel. It outlines a 2 step install torque sequence.

 

I use this:

Im waiting for the "how do I remove a broken flywheel bolt" thread..lol

 

thats for turning logs over!!! hahhahaa. ya, many ways to keep it from spinning. a cleaverly placed screw driver or pry bar will do it.
