You hear a bomb too? Mine was hand tight but i called my uncle to use his bigger hands bc i thought my oonga wasnt enough (he broke my torque wrench before, instead i have a 6ft metal bar 🫠)
Also fun fact don’t turn your engine counter clockwise unless you wanna screw up your timing (it may not be a lot of movement in the video but people will start with an inch then a mile)
there's a tool called a flywheel/flexplate holder that you get or just have a wrench/ratchet/breaker bar on the crank pulley bolt, instead of possibly marring the guide pin on the flywheel
1/4 steel sheers above 350 foot pounds consider he torqued to maybe 52 lbs accounting for the distance from center to alignment pin maybe 4 Inch there is no more then 75 pounds on that pin it'll be fine
@@BigWheel. Yeah, it'll work most of the time, but when it doesn't it's causing a lot of downtime. Downtime that isn't a concern if you do it the right way.
In my 98 Nissan Frontier I used a piece of aluminum. I drilled a hole out to go around a bolt and an oval hole in the opposite end to hold it in place. I keep it in my door just incase I cook another clutch
I do semi truck flywheels when doing transmission/clutch jobs, it’s not as easy with a semi😂, it can be done though using a pry-bar and the flywheel starter teeth.
I genuinely appreciate that there are people out here torquing things to spec. I do it on all my own personal cars but at work. Fuck no ain’t nobody got time for that lol
One trick i learned was use an old main thust hearing. Sit it in the grooves of the gear and jam it somewhere on the motor workes verry well and the bearings are soft so it wont dammage anything. (Wa wa have a cry if you dont like it never had a problem with it.)
With the bolt at the 12 o’clock position, ratchet pointing towards 3 o’clock you can torque the bolt without the flywheel moving. Then you use move your tool to the 6 o’clock, turn your flywheel until the next bolt in the cross-cross pattern is at 12 o’clock then put your tool back to 3 o’clock………
i had to do that once on a ka24de. i ended up using para chord or whatever it’s called that i found in my garage and tied one end to the bolt and another to the shield. i did get them to spec and that was the end of it.
Woah, that's actually a very great hack! Im an appreciate at a local garage, and this is a great tip for the future whenever i have to bolt in my first fly will, Thanks alot!
I made a flywheel locking tool. It serves well for a lot of engines so far. Instead of improvise stuff like that, just buy a proper tool, you have a digital torquemeter, you don't hvae money issues.
Flat bar, cut a slot into the bar lengthways 6” long 1/2” wide, drill a hole in the flat bar where the bell housing bolt hole would line up. Use matching hardware bolt the bar to the flywheel and housing and you have now made a tool
The better way is to use a properly sized chisel punch to wedge the teeth to the block on the lower right that way you don't have any extra bolts to find install and remove.
Just rotate the engine for each bolt just before 90°and it will hold itself will you torque it down. Thats what i always did till i just bought a flywheel holder and worth the time saved
I have a lil piece of twisted flatbar that bolts into the bellhousing and catches a tooth for that. Its also handy for keepin a torque converter in when youre moving a trans around...👍
@@jonnywilson9117 the ring gear is on the flywheel. Put your pry bar into the teeth against the engine protruding out. You'll be able to hold the flywheel from moving.
did you spray brake clean on the new flywheel before installing it bc it looks extra greasy and shiny as if it still has the thin film of shipping fluid on it-
You just dump water inside the engine so it locks up then it won’t spin
Great idea!
Seriously? Where do u pour the water?
If you don’t know, this is a joke. please do NOT do this as it will damage your engine
@@noodle9851 I really hope thats sarcasm
It’s a Subaru ej it self lubricates with water
3 uggs with the impact.. that's spec
Send it!
Close but not quite. The correct torque spec is 3 uggas AND 2.5 duggas
I always thought it was you talk and I tighten😅
2second with a "grrrrrrr grrrrr"
Was looking for this comment
Use an impact wrench and just make sure to say beep after each bolt.
Or click
🤣
Nah you have to beep after you stopped and removed the socket from the bolt otherwise noone hears it and they don't believe you.

It’s clockwise if you look at it from the front.

This.
I always lock it from the other end.

I use a prybar to lock up the flywheel against the bell housing. Works good, and easier

💯you got that right! Thanks.
Actually there is a hole on the side of the block that is specifically there to slide a screwdriver in and hold the flywheel. I do boxer engines daily
We use crankshaft main bearing it works 100%
That engine is all of 18" long. Hold the front crank bolt.
Well keep turning it backwards and when the timing jumps the valves contacting the pistons will hold it just fine .

I'd rather grab the flywheel with a pair of vicegrips because if you bend or misshape that pin you'll have problems lining up the clutch
replace the pin
@@Misteryman321 where do you find clutch plate pins without replacing the whole flywheel? Maybe on a semi, but never seen this in light duty vehicles.

I used a 90° bent valve. Lock the valve seat into the ring gear teeth and the stem into a bellhousing bolt hole 😀👍🏻
Just rotate the engine for each bolt just before 90°and it will hold itself will you torque it down. Thats what i always did till i just bought a flywheel holder and worth the time saved
Holding the flywheel with a a dowel pin. That's brilliant.
Jam a wooden wedge in there.
I have a lil piece of twisted flatbar that bolts into the bellhousing and catches a tooth for that. Its also handy for keepin a torque converter in when youre moving a trans around...👍
Yes! Good to have
Tool that gos on the flywheel
Just hold the crankshaft bolt 🤦
Pry bar against the ring gear and the engine works great for me.
Against the ring gear? Or the flywheel?
@@jonnywilson9117 the ring gear is on the flywheel. Put your pry bar into the teeth against the engine protruding out. You'll be able to hold the flywheel from moving.
@@jonnywilson9117 also is a really good way of holding the crank so you can get the front crank pulley bolt loose if it's really stuck.
Sooo..
I guess the old school way of jamming a large flat head screwdriver between the ring gear and housing is cool anymore
Still works great lol
Good idea ! 👍🏾
Thanks!
did you spray brake clean on the new flywheel before installing it bc it looks extra greasy and shiny as if it still has the thin film of shipping fluid on it-
I always use the tool dead holds the flexplate been around longer than I've been born
milwaukee says brrrrrr
Lol
If you wanna risk cracking the flywheel then go ahead. My own cars I will but not at the dealer
@@CumminsTech24 Never happened.
Nice tip Steve
Gracias Tony 👊🏼
Great tip 👍🏼
This reminds me when my flywheel in my car broke apart because the mechanic who worked on it previously welded it together before I bought the car
Wedge just about anything between the inner bell housing and flywheel.
Pry bar in the flywheel teeth against the bellhousing.
My personal experience and what I have been taught Is that having a rod bearing in the teeth where the starter is at does the job very well
That would work.
There’s tools that match teeth of the flywheel and bolt to bellhousing
We usto take a spark plug off and put the piston down and put a small rope down it till it stops engine from moving
Ahh, that’s why the clutch alignment pin is always chewed up to shit. Good to know.
Ancient torque wrench
Lol we used to torque the nuts on covered wagons with those old, digital torque wrenches
Or you could just have a friend hold a prybar. Set it between two teeth and up against the block. Works like a charm.
Even better put a bolt in the the clutch mounting holes along with where u put ur bolt
I like it
As a Subaru technician I can confirm this is incorrect. Service manual states three ugga duggas with 3/8 air impact.
Lol
As the flywheel moves when you torque it down, giving you a false reading.
Hold the crank bolt
Flywheel Holder, jeesh....
I use a tool that holding the flexplate or flywheel in place
Couldn’t pay me enough to torque down bolts I’m using blue lock tight and an impact gun to fasten.😂😂
i use big rod that bolts on and hits the ground
You could also just slide a socket over the crankshaft pully and hold it against the frame using a pullbar… just sayin
Jam the ring gear to
I pry bar the starter gear
There’s a couple more ways to get it done without using an impact.
If you use that yellow loctite from the dealer it ain’t going nowhere with out being red hot lol
Spec is whenever the impact stops
The 6lb lump hammer feels left out 😂
Impacted on I’ll be safe and use a 12 V
Well I’ll be damn… this would never work for anything I do but man is that cool
i know a subaru when i see one
Motion pro makes a magnetic gear tooth lock
I just jam my hammer through the harmonic balancer and engine block
Loctite and ugga dooga
Would the pin be at risk of bending?
No, it took very little effort. A wooden pin would’ve worked.
You're over thinking they make a simple tool for years for that if you can get it in it's called a flywheel turner 😂
Cool.
Alan key in a gearbox bolt hole?
I just grab the impact. We don’t torque shit here at my dealership
Just need a double box end wrench.... and nope 99% of us don't.
Yeah if you have all the room in the world
Put a ratchet/extension/socket on the crank pulley bold and hold the ratchet with my feet
Lol
Just use a rattle gun. Works every time 😋
Did.. did you just thpin the engine counterclockwithe?
No, clockwise.
I did it once and nothing happened
Why not use a flywheel wrench instead of taking a chance on breaking something else
Not bad, Bubba.
👊🏼
There’s a sst tool for that…
No good if you have a automatic flex plate
Impact gun broken ?
Lol
Finger tight it's just a subaru
Just put it in 1st 😅
So, there's no way that works. NO ONE HAS A 10MM wrench !!!!😆😆😆
It's almost like... they created a tool for this...
10mm wrench?
This is the benifit of owning an rx8. 1 bolt. U just ugga dugga that thing till it stops. Torque spec is like 350ftlbs
Wow
What about the bolt on the other side of the crank.... like bruh
Flywheel tool is not expensive.
Dont even need to torque it
Tranca usando una llave estria en los dientes de la corona contra las proptuberancias de la carcaza
I don't know why all you rookies have all this trouble doing 3rd grade tasks
They don't understand angles and if they position each bolt correctly it holds itself or a simpler option the really cheap flywheel holder.
Impact loll
I just fill a cylinder up with water.
Use a shop rag
Nice 👍
Impact tool
No you don't. You risk breaking the bolts off with those. No one uses them to torque engine component down
Rubber handle of screwdriver as a wedge
Good thought
Just drain the oil and turn on the engine and he will not turn anymore trust me
