I can't get the bolts loose on a 1945 JD B because of their location on the inside of the fly wheel it is hard to get to. I have tried a 1/2 inch drive with a universal socket and broke the universal. Any suggestions?

Dan, you will probably need a J.D. flywheel wrench or a 3/4" drive with heavy duty universal & socket & 3 foot cheater bar or pipe. Even then you might need some heat. Remember once you get them loose you have to re-tighten them & if you don't get them tight enough (read: real real tight) you take the chance of the flywheel working loose & ruining the crank & flywheel.

Dan,
You can make a offset socket by welding a heavy socket- an impact socket- on about a 1 1/2"(or so) piece of steel bar. Turn the bar over and on the other side weld, another so an extention will snap into it.

This will give you the clearence that you need to line the socket up and turn the wrench.

Good luck,

Mark J

The best way is to use a the proper flywheel wrench. If you don't have one you can do what I did. Saw the flywheel bolts in two by going thru the slots in the flywheel. I used a hacksaw blade and made it to fit on a sabre saw because a sabre saw blade isn't long enough. If you have access to a sawz-all that would work the best. Good luck with your "B".
