I put one of the transmission bolts back on then took a big screw driver and stuck the end in the teeth on the flywheel. You should be able to get enough leverage between the bolt and flywheel teeth to keep it from rotating. Of course I used another person to hold the screwdriver there while I muscled the bolts off.

I usually have two breaker bars with me. I grab the correct nut size for the crank bolt and then leverage the breaker bar againist the coolant water inlet. The break the flywheels bolts off.

Impact wrench? I took off my KA flywheel in about 20 seconds.

uhh , just get a flywheel tool, have someone hold the flywheel tool against the teeth of the flywheel which gives you leverage and then you break the bolts loose.

they shouldnt be too expensive
