banshee tuner Posted December 25, 2003 Report Share Posted December 25, 2003 They will shear off if you don't use a strap wrench around the flywheel and use an impact wrench. I have never saw one wear down. I have the vito's which was $25 and i beleive alba has one for $10 or $12. Or you can modify your timing plate for free.

rebelbanshee2 Posted December 25, 2003 Report Share Posted December 25, 2003 i had one. i pulled my flywheel to lighten it and it was broken in 3 pieces. im glad i noticed it before it sheared. buy the ricky stator adjustable plate. only 35 bucks, well worth it for peace of mind and adjustibilty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would be the wrong way to install the key.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightrider Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 the keys are only as reliable as the installation.I made a flywheel holder out of some 1/8"x1"x24"flatstock and some longer 3/8 bolts..I used the exsisting holes in the flywheel and spaced 2 of them out on the flatstock.Drilled and tapped 2 holes and voila.I ground the threads off of the bolts and made them smooth,so they wouldn't marr the holes. Took me 1/2 hour and I was able to torque the flywheel properly.Betteer than paying 30 some bucks.I 've used it probably 3 times,so it was worth the time spent. Just make the flatsock long enough so the it will touch the ground and secure itself.That way you don't have to hold it while your torqing the nut.
