What does everybody recommend for and engine stand for working on
 Mazda rotaries? Purchased? Home made?  How about some picture,
 especially if home made. Or is a good solid bench top good enough?


 Thanks!

 It ia pretty easy to do a 13B rebuild without any stand at all.  4
 one-foot long pieces of 2x4 nailed together to make a square will
 support the engine enough to have the e-shaft hang down during
 tear-down and assembly.  I did several rebuilds that way without
 issue, but as the bones get stiffer I finally broke down and bought
 a stand for the last one.  I used the cheaper of the 2 harbor
 freight models.  I had so buy some extra long bolts and a stacks of
 washers to get it to fit, but it worked well.  Sorry no pictures.

 Dave,

 No need to apologize for no pictures as your description made it
 perfectly clear. Until my bones get to stiff I'll try a 2x4 frame on
 a bench as you suggest is good.

 Thanks for the insight!

 Warm Regards, Brad Chubb


Any tricks for flywheel nut removal? Also the 13B can be mounted to the cheaper Harbor Freight engine stand via the front iron on spark plug side.. No adaptor needed, use the studs/bolts that are used for the mounting bracket for power-steering and a/c.
