A good way to loosen bolts torqued very tight is an impact driver. Similar in appearance to an electric drill, and exert a strong force for a brief time. They will loosen almost anything. They are not expensive, and often are even available for rental from auto parts houses or rental agencies. Bill MYSTY Landfall 39 In a message dated 7/5/2013 1:21:34 P.M.

If anyone has advice on how to remove the flywheel (Yanmar 2qm15 engine currently sitting in the salon where it definitely does not belong), it would be gratefully received. The manual says the five bolts are torqued to 290 foot lbs, and of course the flywheel turns. I will next try an extension pipe on my breaker bar, and work from the proper side so the nut is resisting turning the engine, but even if I get the 5 bolts off, the Yanmar manual says to use special tool on the 2QM15 to force the flywheel off the shaft its on. I am trying to get to the rear oil seal and replace it (leaks) before putting humpty dumpty together again (and the local mechanics are too busy to return calls)...never imagined I would get to know my boat this well..... Thanks for any advice, Who knows, I might go sailing yet this year....
