They will shear if the flywheel is not torqued tight enough.

hmm..that could be it roscoe..i didnt torque it at all...i put it back on with a big cresent wrench lol it was pretty tight though...what is torque for it?and how can you torque these things when the flywheel wants to turn on you the whole time?

yes the flywheel key will be sheared if not torqued to the proper ft/lbs. the best way to keep the flywheel from turning is to get a flywheel holder.you will also need a good torque wrench.I would think, you could get that key at any hardware store. <br />javsam

I dont have the spec for a force but it is probably 90 foot lbs.
