I used one of these at Avon Park this year when I helped Jim change his clutch on the saturday night. It was a real useful piece of kit, I am getting close to needing to torque up the flywheel bolt on my own engine, so one of these would be useful, rather than wedging a screwdriver in the ring gear whilst pushing the torque wrench down with your foot.

Does anyone know where they are available from? Jim?

I've found that a short piece of 1 3/4" angle iron wedges itself in the flywheel very nicely, and holds itself there for torquing...

I use an old knackered 14mm socket.

Used the same one for years. Once it's in it seldom falls out.

I like the fact that several different soultions to this problem have been mentioned.

I wonder how many other ways people do this job.
