When and where are you doing it? My schedule is pretty tight with the wife managing her store but I might be able to help.

The clutch should be here Monday

They are very difficult to get off. You can try to use counter pressure on the crank pulley for them. Or else just get a gun and zip em off....

Impact gun will get the flywheel bolts off. Air or electric should work.

Just wait till you get to torque them back on. Let me know when you're doing the install and I'll see if I'm free.

It just loosened the crank bolt. I'll have to try the impact when I get hope.

Steve do I need new bolts for the flywheel?
I'm hoping the new clutch shows up today, I'll let you know

Yes, you will need new flywheel and clutch bolts.

remember the other part of the tool kit for the cams? its a bolt that goes into the crank. after that is not an issue, also makes for a good anti theft.

Yeah, it also adds to the adventure when it snaps off and you get to drop the pan to pull it out. Didn't happen to me but I know several people that have had that pleasure.
