How Much Torque Is Enough?

to break the front bolt free, all you gotta do is put a tranny bolt in backwards into the motor through a strip of metal with holes in it, and lock the other half onto the flywheel. hold it on with a vicegrip or something. then just use a pipe to break the bolt free on the front. works easy and fast every time.
flywheel bolt is the easy part =]

To get the front one off I got the ring gear flywheel stopper and went at it with a 3/4 bar and a nice long pipe over that, worked like a charm.
To get the rear off I bought that big wrench from racing Beat. I put it on so the end of the wrench was about two feet off the ground, then I just kicked it. Popped it right off.

i just rented a 3/4 inch drive electric makita impact gun for 8 CDN dollars a day. Went to sear to get a 2 and 5/8th regular socket.
Plugs the impact gun in... 5 secs later the nut came off...
replaced rear main oil seal, then repositioned flywheel making sure it sat flush (note! very important, it hung up on the eshaft key for me and i torqued it down) needless to say bye bye eshaft key)
repeat. hit the nut with the impact for 10 secs.
the gun was good for 300 to 400 ft/lbs forward and reverse.
8 dollars + 15% tax later + 20 CDN for socket. and 1/2 a days work.
Done.
the fun part is getting the pilot bearing out.
