undoing flywheel bolts, 5kcstq

[ed armstrong]

Ken,

You can use the engine hoist hole next to the flywheel
for this project. Place a big ol screwdriver or long
piece of metal throught this...place another big ol
screwdriver or long bolt etc in one of the holes in
the _side_ of the flywheel. Turn flywheel til they
contact and the flywheel no longer rotates...remove
the flywheel bolts.

You'll get the idea if you play around with it some.
Just use your imagination and you'll juryrig something
up ! You don't need the crank locking tool for this
although it would makes things for straightforward
