Removal of flywheel

[Mitch_McComb]

How has everyone removed their flywheel.
I was trying on the center bolt for about 15 minutes before I had to leave. Is there a special technique to this?
I had a large monkey wrench holding the base still, and a rachet on the bolt itself. I was thinking about using a pipe on the end of the rachet to give that extra umph... but was worried if this would hurt anything?

Thanks for the help,

i took mine off the other day and it was alittle hard at first but it'll come off with a little elbow grease it's normal thread not reverse

When I took mine off I had a friend hold the flywheel while I cranked on the flywheel puller w/ a ratchet. I couldn't get enough leverage by myself to get it off. I think it is put on at somewhere around 70ft-lbs.

Sweet,

Thanks for the info.
I've got a three foot breaker bar I'll try to use. I'm sure I'll loosen that puppy up.
