Heres a little tid bit to remove the bolt easier, my buddy who is a honda mechanic told me this trick. Take a blow torch to the bolt (yes) and heat it up for a couple of minutes, nothing will happen to the bolt, but the metal that is around the bolt expands and lets loose just enough to loosen it. Trust me it works, before this trick i broke 4 1/2 inch sockets and an 18in. breaker bar and still didnt budge it. I then bought an impact and tried that (500ft/lbs) and that didnt work. Then today i tried it again this time torching it first, then i locked the flywheel and then put the breaker bar on it and layed on that mutha, and it broke loose, after about a month and a half of screwing with that damn thing it came off. Just a bit of advice from my garage!!:thumbup:
