I took the one head off, but didn't need to go any further. You may need a 10 foot extension bar... it can really be tough. By the way, there are "flywheel turner" tools that lock the flywheel in place while you try to turn it. You can find them at mot large auto parts stores. -Dave -----Original Message----- From: cruznmd [mailto:racuti1@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, June 28, 2003 12:05 PM To: DMCForum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [DMCForum] Re: Uh Oh.. Dave, When you bought the donor engine for Vixen, I'm sure you took it apart. Did that one give you any trouble? Martin, A 6 FOOT extension bar......? How did your engine guy lock the flywheel? I'm sure a tool of some kind but where to get it? I'm sure if I try to use a screwdriver jammed in the teeth I'll bust the flywheel or just the screw driver if I'm lucky. --- In DMCForum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Martin Gutkowski <webmaster@xxxx> wrote: > The manual says it should be replaced with Loctite.
