How do you guys keep the flywheel from moving when bolting/unbolting it. Do you use that special flywheel tool? if so, where do you purchase one? Any other way to do it?
Bolting it back down i was able to hold the flywheel in one hand and the torque wrench in the other
Look around in the garage for some kind of flat bracket that you can drill a hole into. I use this method and its free! Of course providing you have some kind of bracket to do this.
i just hit em with a impact ,never been a problem
I'm actually talking about holding it steady from spinning while you unbolt or torque it down...I'm trying to get more creative or cheaper ways than using this, kinda pricey:
OTC 303-673 Ford Flywheel Locking Tool OTC303-673 OT303-673
I can understand this with removal, but what about install?
And what about the pressure plate bolts?
i put them back on with a impact also , i just use a torque extension ,like you would use on wheels . and i just use a 3/8 impact on the pressure plate . i have done about 50 this way without a problem on any of them .
