how to remove nut that attached to flywheel??
how do u remove the nut that holds the flywheel onto the engine???
thanks |
I hold the flywheel with a flywheel tool or channel locks and loosen the nut. After the nut is loose it is not unusual for the engine to turn over as you try to remove the nut making it seeming impossible to get the nut off.
What I do is get a small wire tie and fold it up and push it through the exhaust port while the piston is at bottom dead center. This will prevent the piston from going up and down and make it possible to remove the nut. The wire tire is soft and won't harm the piston/liner. Hope this helps! |
Sorry, I don't know what I was thinking earlier. :sweat:
I use the OFNA Flywheel Wrench to hold the flywheel and a socket wrench to remove the nut. http://www.rccaraction.com/articles/...l_guide/14.jpg |
lol no probs mate, and thanks for advice, i'll try get that tool tomoz or if im feeling poor tomoz i'll get the guy to do it for me :p

Put a squirt of after run oil in the exhaust port and it will hydraulic lock the piston so it can't turn after you use the channel locks to break the nut loose.

For disassembly, just use channel locks or the clutch tool shown and it should come off easily. To break the flywheel free, just rap the back side of the flywheel with a hard piece of plastic like a screwdriver handle and it should pop right off of the collet. |
i would have to go with Rmd on this one and say that this tool is the easiest way to do it ;)

conrod breakage or crankshaft pin breaking off... so ps do not do this, best idea is using the OFNA Flywheel Wrench as pictured above.. |

If you have the flywheel held tight and the nut keeps spinning the crankshaft over the oil is a great way to hold the crank until the nut is snug on the flywheel. I is the same thing as putting the wire tie in the exhaust port but it puts the pressure more even around the hole top surface of the piston. Then you can use you tool or some channel locks to do the final tighten up on the nut. |
Another way that I use is, getting some multi-grips and a hand towel;
put the hand towel around the flywheel and then hold the flywheel in place with the multi-grips (towel is used to avoid damaging the flywheel) and use whatever tool you use to remove the nut (spanner, socket set. etc) Hope that helps. Blazin~ |
YES GUYS I WOULD HAVE TO GO WITH MR.HAWAII FIVE O AND USE THE FLYWHEEL WRENCH
