RE: cant get flywheel off
use a vice to grab the fly wheel. use two blocks of scrap wood to go between the flywheel itself and the jaw of the vice. put it in there and crank it down for all you are worth. go untill you can hear the wood being crushed. then you will be able to get the nut off. you can also use vice-grips or locking pliers to grab the flywheel but they may damage it.

get a vice grip and clamp down on the flywheel, or a robo-grip, or a special made flywheel wrench. then just crank it off

or you can use a hack sawto cut it off you could also dremel it off.
the best way to do it is like bubba and i suggested to use the vice grips. grab the flywheel w/one pair and the nut w the other pair and spin it off.

RE: cant get flywheel off
well how did you take it off? that is exactly how you put it on... only in th opposite order...
1- place collet in flywheel
2- place flywheel on crank
3- lock-tite threads
4- tighten nut

tighten the nut as much as you can. get a rag, and cover the fly wheel with it then clamp down with a vice grip. or just get a flywheel tool

RE: cant get flywheel off
screw wont go on any tighter. ove got the sirio with a 4-shoe clutch which is bigger than stock. the nut will not go down as far with the 4-shoe flywheel as the stock. i need help on how to tighten it further or is this as far as it gets?
