Thats angle iron... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/ohmy.png We also have an impact gun, but I think the adapter is robbing most the power(1/2 to 1 inch adapt)

Quick suggestion as well, use the impact, make sure the compressor is fully charged. Take the impact and fill the air inlet with WD-40 (which I see you have in the pictures) . Pound on the nut with the impact gun untill you hear the compressor kick on again. Stop wait for the compressor to fill completely and start again. try this 3x, on the 4th try, hit the impact to tighten and hit it about 30 seconds. Wait for the compressor to fill and try removal with the WD-40 trick again.





The WD-40 is similar to the ATF trick for a won't start. It causes higher compression of the impact gun and also oils the internal parts at the same time.

first thing i've gotta ask, who in their right mind works on cars in bare feet? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/wacko.png



ya'll need to rethink you're ghetto engineering you've got going on there https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif I love it.

phinsup 06-25-2003 05:16 AM

Like I said you need a puller, that is the way I always get mine off, WORK SMARTER NOT HARDER lol

pengaru 06-25-2003 05:21 AM

actually not even at the puller stage yet, they still havent got the nut off https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/unsure.png

phinsup 06-25-2003 05:27 AM

LOL oh my bad, mixing AIM convo's with posts. I think they finally got it off, or I had one really fucked up aim convo. Maybe I should sleep.

BigTurbo74 06-25-2003 05:21 PM

no it is not off yet...phins you need to sleep after drinking haha

phinsup 06-25-2003 05:25 PM

HA HA what the ****, I thought we were talking about the flywheel itself, that was one really fucked up convo then. Ok the nut, I have a huge ass impact from snap-on so my life is a little easier. However if it's really bac, you can get your self a can of "freeze-it" it's liquid nitrogen, don't let 1revvin near it he will mame himself (joke). Get a torch, heat the living **** out of the flywheel, the take the freeze it and freeze the nut and hit her with the impact or breaker bar.



This is how we used to have to remove valve seats in Aircraft engines, it's a lot of fun, except we had a big 'ol oven to toss the heads in.

Turbo II 06-25-2003 05:25 PM

u need to have a bar with 2 holes drilled into it that fit over the flywheel to hold it from moving while u turn the nut. and yes, y are u barefoot?

phinsup 06-25-2003 05:27 PM

ha ha awesome, he's barefoot. Yea, ILUVMY88 made a bar for me, however with the impact we did not need it.

1Revvin7 06-25-2003 05:29 PM

The bare does have 2 holes, and it did hold it still untill I pulled on the breaker bar and picked up 300#s+180#s+180#s... Ask nick why the hell he is barefoot, no idea.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif

BigTurbo74 06-25-2003 05:36 PM
