Title: engines out
Post by: adib on January 08, 2012, 06:35:04 PM
Engines out and have removed the twin turbos and found bits off metal sitting in there :2eek think thats good.
Fly wheel has cracks where the clutch plate sits, so take it thats got to be replaced.
54mm socket is going to be in tomorrow, how tight is the 54mm nut and whats the easyest way of removing it.

easiest way is get a bike chain, or something similar, wrap it around the flywheel and bolt it to the floor, use a big bar, scaffold pole on the nut, should come off easy.
 
or use the pikey method and use a chisel and heavy hammer and hit the nut at angle and loosen it off. this way may require you to replace the nut.

In the post a reply section there is a little picture of a post card with 2 mountains on it. Click in that and paste your link into the box there. But delete the http that is in the box first.

You have to upload them to something like photo bucket first though.
