Is it possible to remove a flywheel with just a crescent wrench?

[Scrubcadet10]

Will just using a wrench as a pry bar work? That's what I have been doing. Does it need a lot of force to come off?

depends on how long the wrench is.... if it's a standard size wrench probably not... the flywheel may come of a little harder since the key is mangled in there.
you probably need something at least 18" long...

Yeah I looked into it and that's what I'm going to do. I just didn't want to leave my house.

Don't have to leave the house. I think most of my tool purchases have been on-line for years. Besides, name brand sockets are hard to find at local stores.

It just amazes me that poeple will do anything to keep from even borrowing a tool from the local auto parts store but don't even have a second thought about buying those cancer sticks or booze.

The correct tool does make the job a lot easier.

Don't forget he probably has a $1200 cell phone.

You can buy individual sockets. They're not that expensive.

thats true i am in auto repair and once in a while u just need that one time deal and many times i find an individual impact socket for like 8 bucks at napa beats driving around to other shops hoping for a loaner -time wise too !
