Does anyone have the engine tools for the LS1. the one I need right now is the one that will hold the flywheel in place so I can take tha balancer/clutch etc off. Or is there an alternative way. I would just need to borrow it for one night to get the thing disassembled.

Can't you just stick a phillips screw driver thru a hole in the flywheel to hold it while you break the bolts loose?

I dont know if that will hold when I am trying to pull the crank bolt out. And I dont want to risk damaging the block if the screwdriver breaks and gouges the block.

I assume the tranny is not connected. The screwdriver or prybar method will work....used that method on 2 autos.

The motor is out of the car.

On an iron block I wouldnt have a problem using a pry bar but the aluminum is a bit softer and I dont want to risk damage. Unless someone knows it can be done I dont want to guiney pig anything on the only block I have.

I ordered the flywheel locking tool, but it never came in. So I grabbed the largest phillips I had & stuck it thru a hole in the flexplate. It made a small dent in the block tab above the strater, but nothing that would affect anything. I guess I'd have to look at the motor sitting out of the car to decide for sure, but I think it will work just fine. Is it home, or at Don's?

Git a big impact and it will come loose without even turnig over the motor.

Thats what Ellis said to do. the motor is at Dons place and he has all the air tools to do the job.

My impact wouldn't budge mine, but Don's got the real deal so maybe....
