Re: What's wrong? - 1990 Johnson 120
best thing to use is an impact wrench, believe me thats easy.<br />the problem is getting flywheel off.<br />not really a problem unless you had an idiot like the one who sold me my motor and used loctite high strength red on the flywheel nut.<br />from there it seeped into the taper, or he put it there.<br />i used a harmonic balancer puller to pull off.<br />actually i destroyed the 1st one.<br />-<br />the center nut is 1-7/16 in. i got the socket (great neck) from autozone. for less than $10- it was just rite to fit for the ID of flywheel. you have to look at the sockets to get the thinnest wall.<br />i did get a holding tool, from K/D tools(actually a flywheel turner) but it did the job for less than $20.<br />-<br />when i put it back on, i used an old damaged head from the spare block i have with a piece of 2X4 to<br />hold it in place.<br />then i put resurfaced heads on.<br />-<br />book says to retorque nut to 140 to 150ft lbs.
