How to remove the gland nut.....
.
.
I finally had some time ...on a saturday ...sometime ago...
You will need a lot of room to set it all up.... I used a 4 feet cheater pipe and a 4 feet 'L' angle frame. The 'L' angle is to brace the fly wheel from moving...I supported the L angle on some bricks to make sure that nothing it is touching the engine main bolts at the bottom cos it might crack or brake easily... you wouldnt want to damage the treads on those bolts .... and it also helps to not damage the floor tiles.
The two bolts which i have braced the L angle on will get damaged so i will need to replace them.
Then gently push on the cheater pipe and gradually put more force into it till the nut comes lose.... i was a little amazed how easyly it came off...
Now all you have to do is take a big screw driver and pry the fly wheel off...... be cautious thought... the flywheel is heavy and it may come off and drop to the floor thus damaging it.... so do wha you can to hold it steady or brace it or something....
