Well most work done , I should be able to get the last bolt out tomorrow. That's the one I broke the EZ out in , but have bent 2 cheap punches and have been turning it slowly. I took a ruloc disk to the surface and it looks like it cleaned up well.

I have another running motor lined up, I have a spare in the garage that needs building, and I looks like I may be able to salvage this tired motor. Still going for the salvage, about to put a bid in on a house tomorrow and may need all the extra money available.

Cause, well a few of the bolts had little to no locktite, vibration from a lightweight flywheel over 118k miles, you can see rocking on the flywheel on each side of all the bolts. The bolts were all crystallized from being flexed , 2 were crystallized all the way thru when they broke.

Wear, heat , a lot of abuse were all causes. I will swap those bolts out from now on when a clutch is swapped

Got the last one out and the dowel. Flywheel will be here shortly, ordering a dowel tomorrow at Nissan. See how it comes together
