How to remove flywheel bolts without an impact (EASIEST METHOD) 

You just cost me a $20 in the swear jar, but saved me my sanity. Worth it.

Worked in 5 minutes with a 30", 1/2 drive breaker bar. They were tight but they came right out. Thanks so much!

Good idea, good video, straight to the point. Thank you

Well done! I had done this before, forgot about method, was searching web for a flywheel lock and found your video 👍. We older folk, need a reminder 👍

I freaking love you !! lol this was so easy and it held like a champ never fell off or damaged anything . it just stayed how you showed how to set it up and reversed the direct to put the flywheel back on and torque it. Seriously don't know what I would have done without this video. Can't speak highly enough about how great this trick was. Seriously life saver ! Thank you !!!

This video helped me out. Had no trouble getting the bolts out fast with this method and didn't have to use an impact.

Thank you so much! This worked flawlessly for me, and I saved so much not having to get an impact. Very clever workaround.

Thank you!!! You saved me many hours of cussing and frustration

Thanks mate! I've struggled with this for 3 cars now. About to do my 4th. You just saved me.

Your the man. How did the 12 point not slip once

I was trying to figure out a method to remove my flywheel bolts! Thanks for the tip!

You seem like the type of guy to grind out a car in any location under any circumstances lol. Cool video and good tips 👍🏽

Woohoo just Google searched for this stuff an bam you got first vid post!!!! Hell yeah Love peace and axle grease brother! Congrats again on the move too

Thanks for that tip, will definitely be using it! Oh and that last part with the "hey" gave me chills!!! 👻😱

Absolute amazing idea!! Worked so good! Been going at these flywheel bolts for an hour and saw this and got in a few seconds!! Appreciate it

just used this trick on my BMW e30. you saved me a lot of grief. thanks!

Good idea never woulda thought of anything like this. I don't have an impact so thought I was stuck here. Ill try this tomorrow.

Awesome man, soo easy and yet I didn't get to that myself. Thank you!

Awesome idea, I normally use a punch and stick it in the clutch bolt hole to catch the back of the block.

Thank you, Sir! I was replacing the clutch & flywheel on my accord typeS , in the driveway on axle stands with basic tools. Nightmare job, removing the subframe, etc. Finally got to this part. Was losing the plot and about to reach for the angle grinder... 😅 Nice one 👍

Bro!!! I spent 5hrs fighting my engine. I will try this next!

Thank you! I needed this so badly! Good told impact torque wrench couldn’t move my loctite fly wheel Bolts!!!

Thanks its worked you help a lot, good job, shout out here from the Philippines

Thanks for the tip. I tried it and it worked. I also bent the trans bolt but no big deal.

Thanks for posting this; it worked great for me! I had the engine out of the car, with the oil pan sitting on the floor and the top of it supported by my cherry picker. I found the best way to do this was jam the flywheel with the wrench like you showed, grab the valve cover with my right hand, the intake manifold with my left hand, and then use my left foot on the end of the breaker bar to loosen the bolts. It also worked on the crank bolt, just like you said.

You saved my life. Thank you so much

Sweet, I’m changing my clutch and you can use this method with a double box end wrench to tighten them up also with your torque wrench! I thought I may need to buy a flywheel holder but this will do the trick.

You helped me so much man! Subbed!

2000 Civic Flywheel, you failed to say the socket (1:25) sizes, at 12 point or what? Then the torque?

Nice. Thanks man. Also sounds like you have a helper from the other side.

This helped me. Thank you.

Made my life so muzh easier. Ur the best!!!

it was so easy, thank you so much

Beautiful! Thank you!

This is super smart. Thanks!

What socket are you using ?

Brilliant. Thank you!

Damn brother man.. awesome trick.. I am in the process of building a little turbo engine and needed flywheel off.Can I torque it back up this same way? It won't hurt the gearbox mounting bolts?

Sweet video man that will come in Handy great way to get those off

Simple but ingenious solution!

Thank you! This worked awesome

🏎🏎

Very helpful!!! Thank you so much!!🤙🤙🤙🤙😁😁😁😁🙏🙏🙏

What size of bolt did you put in the flywheel hole?

Pretty slick trick👍

so easy and smart thanks

Thank you so much!

That's ingenious, but the bell housing on the corvair motor I'm disassembling won't permit it. Was thinking of using some heat. Yay? Or Nay?

Nice trick man!!! Thanks for sharing

Dude thank you you da man!...

Shot bro🤜 omfl I've been struggling

Thank you..

thanks you ..

Thanks homie

Need to buy a better battery powered impact. I got one close to $300 from harbor freight, well worth it, paid for itself numerous times. First test to see if I would of kept it was at junkyard and busted loose 5 honda accord crank pulley bolts, so kept it. Had it for now about 2-3 years no issues, I just used it today to break axles,calipers, crank pulley bolt, mount, and all transmission housing bolts.

this trick works wonders

Thank you so much!!

Good video

it was the ghost of your engine coming back to life

Just tried this 😂 bent one of my transmission bolts

does this ruin the flywheel?

THANK U

Lol

great vid hopefully ill get these bolts off

Thats great

I goona try this tomorrow m flywheel bots overtorked by impact gun n I've been trying get them off by wrench without success

So what happens if the flywheel moves? I was trying to remove the bolts and the flywheel moves like 1inch

Genius

I ain’t afraid of no ghosts 😜

Thanx Mate😂

The problem is getting these screws out with the engine in place.

W

Earthquake or Milwaukee would break the bolts free. Bauer 1/2" cordless is junk

Just get an impact! Borrow one buy one… eff the dum shhhh
