Anyone,
     What size socket do I need for the fly wheel nut, on a Rene sis
     engine? And
     where do I get said socket?

     Two and 1/8th. Any good auto parts or tool
     store. It is a 54 mm.

     We need a FAQ.

     Try Harbor Freight.  They have a 3/4" socket set for around $40 when
     it is on sale.  They also sometimes have a bin of miscellaneous
     sockets to check.

Get the impact set, not the regular one. They have much more steel in
them. I broke several of the non-impact variety and got warranty
replacement.

Harbor Freight guarantees their hand tools. Mostly they are just
barely good enough. Lousy finish. You MUST have the receipt to get
warranty replacement. This is where most guys screw up. They are real
hard nosed about it. But no problem if you have the receipt. So it
breaks: get another one. If the second breaks, get another one. Repeat
until you find a good one. A pain, but those of us on limited budgets
can't afford Snap-On or Mac or ... Not even tax deductible unless your
are a professional who can demonstrate that to the IRS.
