Re: [FWDLK] Removing the crankshaft bolt

[Ray Jones <hurst300@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There is a tool, called (I think) Flywheel Lock. It's a steel bar with 
a bent tab on the end and a swinging arm with another tab on it. This 
allows it to fit any tooth arrangement.  It can hold the Flywheel in 
place by being hooked onto the Flywheel and using a Tire Iron between 
it and the Bellhousing or it can be used to turn the flywheel around.
With someone holding the Flywheel in place under the car, use a large 
Breaker Bar (and piece of pipe over it) and Socket on the Nut.

Tool is available in most real Parts Stores
