removing flexible flywheel

[pastaboy]

Hi all just hoping to pick your collective brains / experience ... I am trying 2 remove the flexible flywheel off my 2007 EJ20 normally asperated engine but the bolts are tight as ... I have the correct Torx plus IP50 socket adaptor but they are so tight I'm scared I'll strip the heads off the Torx Screws before I shift them ... ANY IDEAS
Thanks in advance

there tight. just make sure you have the socket/torx on straight and give it a good pull. you can try a impact if that doesnt work. they have torxs? no hex or 12point heads?

You can't quite get the tool on straight because your reaching through from the front of the flexible flywheel cover ... can you take the front of flexzi flywheel off or does the whole flywheel come off as one piece ...

Yeah they are Torx Plus IP50 screws Wish they used hex bolts :(

Thanks again for your help anyone
