troubles removing Flywheel

Im having some troubles removing my flywheel, i have tryed useing an impact gun and a braker bar but the bolts wont come off and the flywheel keeps turning when i try to put alot of pressure on it.I also had a friend come over and try to hold the flywheel but the bolts didnt move. is there some way to stop the flywheel from turning?

Re: troubles removing Flywheel

If the impact gun won't remove them...I think it's time to upgrade the gun. Have you tried putting a breaker bar on the balancer bolt and have someone hold that?

Same one I bought, had to trim the flat spring a little bit since it sticks out too far. Other than that, it's been fine and a time saver.

Re: troubles removing Flywheel

you could try to stick a bar or large screw driver thru a hole on the flywheel and bind it against the motor, thats always worked for me.
