Removing Flywheel?

Simple question. How do i remove the flywheel from the engine. I have the engine pulled from the car and you are supposed to remove the flywheel before you mount it to an engine stand. When you try to turn the bolts it just turns the flywheel. Also, do i need a bearing puller?

Re: Removing Flywheel?

impact gun. that or have someone else hold the crank still with a breaker bar on the front balancer bolt. you don't need a bearing puller to get the pilot bearing out if you wanna change it. all you need is a round pin or bolt that fits close inside the bearing, load the inside up with grease then pound the bolt or pin into the hole it will hydraulicly force the bearing out. hit it a few times then put more grease in and repeat till it comes out.
