Sorry I missed taking a pic of the flanges as I found them, all four were mounted correctly, Just too tight, had to modify all 4.. strange.
in the pic you saw I had already removed 3 flanges and one in the upper right I had just turned around.

I was able to hold the flywheel with 4 pair of vise grips strategically located, I guessed and torqued the flywheel to 140lbs (35 over).. seems to be ok for now tho.

That sanford n son Flywheel puller has come thru in the past, I keep it way in the back of the tool cabinet in a box labeled “stale crackers” and never admit ownership to anyone.

I had to pull the flywheel twice tho, after reading online that the flywheel and crack mating-surfaces had to be immaculately clean, and I had reassembled mine with oil everywhere. pulled and cleaned, then torqued.

next step is the fuel tank, replace fuel line, canvas hatch cover and seats!
