Re: [DML] Removing crankshaft pully nut

[Martin Gutkowski <webmaster@xxxx>]

There's a really simple tool available to lock the flywheel in place, 
though you may find that putting it in 5th and having someone stand on 
the brakes will be good enough

BTW DON'T put loctite on it when replacing as it says in the manual, 
you'll never get it off again!
