Flywheel Bolts Stuck

[habitatguy187]

33 Gallon air tank, 3/8 impact, 135psi, propane torch for about 70 seconds, and I still can't get A SINGLE flywheel bolt off . What else can I do besides find a bigger air compressor somewhere? (the one I had tripped the breaker to the whole row of apt. garages )

Is it an absolute must to get the flywheel resurfaced? I'll take a pic of it in the morning cause I don't really know what's bad and what's good but if you were to ask me I'd say it looks pretty good, but my clutch disc was worn more on the outside edge than near the hub. I'm now at the point where I want to finish this up but I'm stuck on the flywheel.

Bigger impact.
And resurfacing the flywheel will extend the clutch life.

You need a 1/2 or 3/4 inch impact to deliver more ftlb of torque to the bolts.

You're using a 3/8" impact? That's probably not going to cut it.
My 1/2" took them right off a month back when i swapped to manual. Be careful because the heads of the bolts are narrow. The gun could slip off and mess up the head pretty easy. Push the gun against the crank firmly when loosening.
If not, i've done it with a breaker bar in the past.

3/8 Impact what? Ratchet? Gun? Hammer?

Borrow a 1/2 from someone. they will come right off.
