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

In today's video i show how to remove flywheel bolts without a impact.
This method works best with the engine in the car but still works without the engine installed.

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!

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 👍

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

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

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

[gentry]

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

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.

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

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 !!!

[danman]

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

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 👍

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

[thejustmechannel]

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

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.

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

[jonathanharris]

Thanks, worked a treat! (except for the bolt which broke... But I have a set of broken bolt extractors for that).
Just one suggestion - I used a combination wrench, that way the ring end was held in place so the wrench couldn't fall out of place.

[brenthunt]

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

[kennybpasten]

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

[ruben-twzc]

Thank you for this video it seems pretty straight foward and doable. I will for sure try it I have been working on my car's crank pulley and it has been hell ! thank you i had not thought about trying your way. i hope it works !!
