Locking the flywheel for crank bolt?
Locking the flywheel for crank bolt? Has anyone come up with any creative ways to lock up the flywheel to torque the balancer/crank bolt down.I know I can buy a tool for this but I would like to alleviate the cost.Thanks
remove starter and like said above, shove the biggest screwdriver thatll fit in one of the holes in the flexplate. make sure the screw driver has a pretty solid handle as the edge of the block will want to cut it
first time i did this on an auto i torqued it til the screwdriver broke, hehe whoops
all other times i used a better quality screwdriver and torqued it to factory specs. 240#'s with the old bolt, remove old bolt install new bolt, torque to 37#'s, and turn an additional 140 degrees

ps:: I install a new seal any time I remove a pulley($10.00 and 10 minutes now is better than haveing a leak and haveing to remve pulley again
may make a tool to hold flywheel REmove the small 2 in round plug on bottom of bellhouseing insert
hope the drawing of tool is understandable
use a 1/8 x 2 flat bar about 12 in long insert into flywheel threw the round hole in botton of bellhouseing ,the notch in side will hold tool in place
PS: THE DRAWING DOES NOT SHOW UP CORRECT ,it should be about 2 in wide all the way down

For me, the Kent Moore tool was one of the best $65 investments I made. It securely locks the flywheel without any worries of things slipping and causing damage.
