yeah ive tried heat, but still didnt budge. i didnt want to heat it too much though to avoid doing in the oil seal. Its either going to take someone that has alot of experience in the engines, or a big fat smash i think
As i said in my other post don't worry about the heating side of things, you would probably have to have the flywheel glowing red before and damage is done to the seal.

If you have the engine out of car you can grind down it about an inch (inch from crank left) then smash it with a chisel down the ground out groove.

you could even do this as well as putting it in gear and using the brakes stop the engine rotating - then the power from the starter will be concentrated on the flywheel.
just a thought.

Might be safer to try and lock the flywheel against turning then turn the crank by the front pulley bolt?

I had a really troublesome one but eventually got it off with lots of heat from a blowtorch and a BFH

I really feel your pain Mike. Your frustration is tangible and I hope you get it sorted soon.......BUT.......Your threads have been highly entertaining!!

When the time comes for my flywheel to come off I'll give you shout for advice. In the meantime; Good luck and keep the faith
