Flywheel problem

[olmytsi]

Ok i got this motor that i am trying to put on an engine stand to get it ready to drop in. The problem is i cant get the damn flywheel off. We tried everyting from trying to break the bolts loose by hand to using a huge compressor and nice gun on it tonite....no success. Only 1 of them came out, the rest dont even move, WTF. Anyone have any ideas on how to break them loose? Also has anyone ever put an engine on a stand without removing the flywheel? If so where did u get bolts long enough?
Please help me out cause i am out of ideas. I got a torch but is it a good idea to do that, i dont want to melt the bolts.

I am in the same prediciment at the moment. If you have gotten them off, how did you manage. Or does anybody have any ideas?

Take a big hammer and give each bolt a good smack and then try to loosen them. If that doesnt work, try heating them up some with a propane or mapp gas torch. Be careful no to overheat them because you can damage the rear seal.

Finally got the bolts off. Took it to a shop and they had an ingersol-rand gun that took all but 1 off in 20 seconds; the other had to get torched for 30 seconds and it came right out.

I finally got mine off too....with the use of a was a big ass impact gun. Everything came off without a hitch.

Do yourself a favor and order new ones unless they arent that old.

I was plannin on it. Do I need to get those through the dealership?

Yeah i think so. You can either get it from http://www.jnztuning.com/ by calling them but they are hard to reach or you can get them from http://www.diamondstarmotorsport.com/ which is where i just ordered them from.
