I need to either gain weight or get a longer cheater bar ..... longer cheater bar. I thought the 150 ftlbs on the Mini flywheel was tough ....

love the use of the t-shirt as the back drop and did you make your block off plates for the openings?

torque tool is a must, if not, 60 gallon compressor and impact wrench!

Got plenty of old tee shirts. Its amazing how many you collect over the years. as far as the blockoff plates, ya I made them so when I start to scrub the engine clean I wouldn't have to worry about junk getting inside.

I've used the impact wrench on the Mini project. The front hubs, flywheel nut, and the transmission nut all are 150 ftlbs. That tool is way too cool and I'm thinking how I could adapt it to the Mini.
