Paul,
I'm trying to get the front cover bolt lose.
But all I produced is a bent aluminum and steel angle.

I tried WD-40 on tehe bolt, but without success.

My brother told me to heat the bolt with a hot-air gun to get the loctite
grumpy. Would that work?
What kind of Loctite is used, and up to which temperature is loctite heat
resistant?
Kind regards
Thomas


I would not get it over 300 degrees F.
It takes a lot of torque and at least a 3/4 impact Wrench.
You will need to lock down the engine with a special tool
>from Mazda or a six foot long channel four inches high by
1/4 inch thick bolted to the flywheel.

Paul Lamar ...No rotor no motor.

I bought the flywheel stopper from mazdatrix.
Propper blocking of the flywheel should be no problem.

I will try the hot-air gun and tell you the results.

King regards
Thomas
