[:@]What is the easiest way to take that flywheel nut off? I borrowed my friend's 150psi compressor, & still cannot get that nut off. Anybody got any suggestions?

There is no 'easy' way to remove that flywheel nut TRINI01. Torque spec is around 350 ft/lbs and they seem to get tighter with age. The compressor sounds adequate but maybe just need a little beefier gun. There is a special tool from Mazda that holds the flywheel by the starter teeth but you still need a 5 foot breaker bar to snap it loose. Might try a parts store that loans out tools for a small fee and see if they have a 3/4 drive impact.

 

wow! you know way too much about cars

 

That's a good thing that he does. Thanks babyhuey.

Kudo to Paul & Rick over at Mazmart. They loaned me the counterweight stopper so that I could remove that nut holding it on. Without their help I would probably still be messing around with it. Now I am almost done with the swap. Great guys over at Mazmart.

I know this is going to sound dumb but I can't tell just by the pics. What is that is going in?

I know its a transmission, but what kind. I mean it looks really cool.

also how much diffrent is it from the old stock?

but any way I like it, very nice.


lol may be you can tell me where I could get a little bit better Trans for my standard 323.

Well...Everything is done except for the starter & exhaust. Then I should be set.
