Today I worked on the opposite side of the mustache ride motor. And unfortunately ran into a road block when I could not find my 22mm socket. This is for wedging the crank bolt in place so the motor doesn’t turn when I go to remove the flywheel bolts.

This is with the clutch still installed. The new clutch and old vanagon transmission this will be mating up to requires a different sized pilot bearing. So the flywheel has to be removed to press in the new bearing.

The question is do you reuse the original flywheel or replace it? It looks pretty good, but it’s one of those things that if you don’t replace it when you could have you’ll be kicking yourself. Currently a new flywheel will run me about $160. Which is reasonable enough to justify just doing it now.
