Do you have access to a 1/2 inch drive Pneumatic (air) wrench and the appropriate size socket?

Put your socket on your ratchet or breaker bar and give the beam a good solid couple of whacks out towards the end with a rubber or plastic mallet. The flywheel and crank will turn a little, but the impact will break the bolt loose 9 times outta 10.

All good suggestions for removal, but the only thing that works when you need to torque the bolts back down is a flywheel lock.

Wicat, not sure how you could stick anything thru the flywheel?
