Re: [T3] holding the flywheel


These are the options I also know but Haynes says "the crankshaft can be
locked by jamming a scrweddriver in the flywheel teeth" so I've been trying
this in all its variations for the past 2 days and still can't get it to
work. Now that I know that I am not missing some trick, I think I'll get the
tool.
Thanks
