Default Flywheel ?

Is there some kind of special tool for taking off the flywheel nut? I can't get the dang thing to budge.

Put the flywheel into a vise [not to tight or u will damage it] and use an ajustable wrench or the right size socket to get it off

I use the end of a toothbrush to lock the piston into place and then a pair of channel locks with a rag over the flywheel and slowly gently work it off.

Something else u can use to get the flywheel/nut off is a battery terminal puller. U can get them usually at most auto parts stores...that will do the trick usually as well....

I finally got it off. Next time I make an order on tower that's going in my cart, I'll try the battery terminal puller also. Thanks again.

there is a tool that threads into the glowplug hole and holds the piston. i have one, it unscreaws out of the end of my 4 way wrench
