This is probably a good way to get it off, but do you use the same method to
put it back on? I understand that it is difficult to be sure you have
adequate torque with these and therefore it is a bad idea to use an air
wrench to install a gland nut. I have never tried it. One friend that did
many years ago had his flywheel come loose. I realize a sample of one means
nothing.
Does anyone else have consistent good results that they can share with us?
If so, tell us what you do, what you use, air pressure, etc.
