When i removed the flywheel cover there was all this brown dust around the center of the case!

I use to crush flu lighting tubes for my uncle in the summers! ( he loved me that much)
so this is nothing! (only joking)

What should i use to clean it?

The tools normally come with 2 sets of bolts, if you have a non verto clutch set up you will need to use the bolts ith the finer thread.

You may as well buy a can of brake and clutch cleaning spray or just a rag and thinnners does the job.

If the flywhell has'nt come off in a while it my me a twat to get off, i find removing the starter motor and giving a "firm twat" with a lump hammer helps when you have tightened that puller all you dare.

JF.

cool thanks,
im stripping the block so it can go off to morspeed to be cleaned and stuff!
While i weld the car!
i keep forgeting to take pics but if i do ill post them on here!

thanks martin

Yes, a firm twat from a BFH often helps matters.

To be honest in my younger days autograss racing minis, I did not have a flywheel puller, so used to rely on a hammer and twatting alone to remove flywheels......... it can be done by you have to be careful not to smash the transfer gear casing in the process.

A big hammer is one of my favorite tools..If in doult give it a clought!!

I used to have a scaf bar with gaffa tape on the end and stick it in the started aperture with the other end on an axal stand. Then enter stage right the sledge hammer. The trick is to turn the flywheel 90 degrees before each wack !! also put an old sofa cushion on the floor next the flwheel.

BTW - I took my buddy VTEC Pete out for a spin this weekend, and even though I am running her in, he gave it a name, the "Brocket"...cause I'm a brocket maaannn, nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah....
