D17 flywheel bolt!%#$#%!

[MADMAT]

I'm doing my 100k stuff and I can't get this flywheel bolt off for the life of me. Heat, air impact, electric impact!! Is it reverse or something? Book doesn't mention it.

Umm Pretty sure it's normally threaded. Mine was a bitch too just don't strip it!

[MADMAT]

Thanks man. I thought so. I'll just keep at it.

Use the bar for your jack, puut it around the ratchet and have someone hold it on the head of the bolt. Use a 12pt socket too

why are u removing the flywheel bolt?

[MADMAT]

My mechanic seems to think he needs to. Should I crack him one for not even bothering to read my Chiltons?????

Don't even tell me it doesn't need to come off to do the timing belt..

ummmmmm? flywheel is on the other side of the engine from the timing belt.
The only reason to ever remove the flywheel is if you are going to replace it with a lighter flywheel or if you are rebuilding the engine. There is really no reason to ever pull the flywheel.
Now the harmonic balancer pulley does need to be pulled in order to change the timing belt.

I'm a tard. I knew that and was being tarded. I'm a 2 stroke guy. I leave the car to my neighbor.

He still hasn't gotten it off though!! That sucker is on there good!!

Hey mods can we change the title to, "pulley bolt#%$%!#%@."?

umm.. not to rain on any parades... but you should remove the flywheel and have it resurfaced whenever you put a new clutch in the car..because the flywheel wears and gets accustomed to the clutch that is wearing.. and if you put in a new clutch without resurfacing the old one or gettin a new one.. the clutch will have premature wear and last maybe half its time.... just an fyi...

but ya... i jus did it to mine with an impact gun.. came right off

He got the part miss named, he meant pulley bolt... not flywheel.

[gsniper666]

woop.. alright... that explains alot then

flat screwdriver in the flywheel where the starter is, and biiig breaker bar, takes two people, but it can be done, i just finished mine, or u can get the crank pulley holder from honda for like 80 bucks, i can get one from cornwell for 55, but i have tool trucks that come to my work, but it is really on there, torque is like 180ft/lbs plus 90 degrees, its a bitch to break free
