Flywheel Removal Tricks?
I dont post unless Im stumped, and Im stumped. I pulled my motor out of the totaled 05 Evo today. I was actually suprised how smooth it went. Anyway I cant figure out a way to keep the flywheel stationary while removing the 7 bolts that attach it to the crank. Short of an Impact wrench or fabricaticating a tool out of bar stock to lock it out.
Any insight would be appreciated, there has to be some way of doing it that Im missing.

Making a lockout bar is the recommended way, or you can put a wrench on the crank pulley and wedge it against the floor or something.

Yeah, Im going to make something at work on monday, I will give the breakerbar on the floor off the crank pulley a shot though. I was so focused on the flywheel I neglected looking at the other end of the engine, lol. Thanks guys

i just got a small piece of flat stock drilled 2 holes in it and bolt it to one of the bellhousing bolt locations and one of the pressureplate bolt locations.... or worst case u can have someone or somthing hold the crank.... I have used a 1/2 breaker bar and a jackstand as well under the passenger side wheel well...
