use an impact gun... only wqay to get the bolts off... or use a wrench and a hammer and tap the wrench with the hammer... same principal as using an impact gun...

or a make shift breaker bar. mine was the handle for a floor jack over a socket wrench. lots of leverage. 3.5 feet worth. also can break bolts though.

Its an air tool that, shaped roughly like a big handgun that uses impact sockets (just heavy duty sockets). It rapidly impacts the nut/bolt to be removed while trying to turn it (instead of a smooth motion). This helps to break it loose. In some cases this really the only way to get some bolts loose.

They make small handheld impact drivers but those are really meant for smaller screws and what not. I've never physically seen an electrically powered impact gun but they do exist.

If you don't have access to a compressor, this can be your best friend. However, at $550 it's kinda pricey. For the same money you can get a 30gal oil less compressor AND all the pneumatic tools and hoses from Harbor Freight you can handle.

That's weird, I didn't have much trouble getting my flywheels off. I have taken them off both of my L28 motors. Hmm, really strange, well good luck to you getting them off. Do you have a stick or automatic? I don't know how much difference that makes. But just a thought, nonetheless.

Yeah I got my 30gallon from Harborfreight for less than $200 on sale a while back. I had to leave it in VA though It just wouldn't fit in the damn car.

That cordless impact gun sure would be handy for junkyard runs though
