Looking for someone in Richmond Hill with an impact gun to quickly install my flywheel and pressure plate, would be willing to give food to. Thanks.

Dude… You shouldn’t tighten those by a gun. You should use a torque wrench and make sure 100% that they are set to 120ft/lbs.

I can’t man, the crank keeps spinning and I don’t want to put a socket in the cam gears.

Or, even better… put a 27mm (iirc) socket on the crank shaft at the front of the engine. Brace the handle against the tension rod mounts…and wham bam, your steady as a rock.

I’ve snapped the bolts off in the flywheel before… do NOT use an impact gun.

Ya man, hold the crank. If you can;t find a socket in that size or are too cheap to buy one, an adjustable wrench works too.
