Is there any tricks to remove the flywheel on a g13ba?
I can't get a socket on the bolts and an open end spanner just slips off!

Just having a look at a motor sitting outside, looks straight forward

Whats stopping you from getting a socket on?? Is the motor still in the car? Whats in the way?

Sounds like it is to me.

I had the engine out and used a rattle gun on it.

Nothing like a bit of finesse :lol:

That sounds nothing like a bit of finesse :rofl:

If the motor is still in the car but the gearbox is out you would need to do it from underneath the car. If its not in the car a rattlegun or impact driver would work (if its a stuck bolt problem), just don't snap the bolt..

Rough gets the job done :twisted: :wink:

In all seriousness, I find using impact on tight bolts does less damage.

If it ruins them when they come out I replace. Doesn't happen often though.

I can't even fit a socket on the bolts!

Well they shouldn't be anything special.

They're not. But as I stated there's no room.

Mine had plenty of room.

I don't know what to do to tell the truth. If it were me I'd probably be reaching for a chisel and hammer.... and breaking something.

I think I have another flywheel sourced. I only need it for the twin cam swap.

They do look pretty close together!! What size socket are they??

It's a 17mm

I've never had a problem.

I've always used a rattle gun, or a breaker bar with a screw driver jamming the flywheel so it doesn't move.

In your case you may want to 1) spray WD on it, swear at it and let it sit for a few mins 2) use a thin walled socket, but I've always used an impact socket set, So basically, your weird. :/

Don't use an open end spanner, you'll fuck it and make the job harder than it has to be.

Sorry for the delay Dono..

I checked mine and my 17mm socket fits fine. I measured from bolt centre to bolt centre and its around 26mm, I can only think that yours are closer together for some strange reason, or your sockets are fucking massive??

Whats the distance between your bolt centres?

What type of socket are you using?

The 12 point ones seem to have a thinner wall.

Tried both and 1/4 inch.
The bearing is sitting out. All good it's sorted now.

Thanks for everyone's input.
