36mm It is torqued to 35 MKg (250 Ft-Lb), so you need a strong socket and a lever arm roughly 1.5 meters long. And a corresponding method to hold the flywheel steady. I use a long, flat steel bar which is bolted to the flywheel in 2 places to hold it still.

I use a flywheel lock job and a long 1/2" torque wrench to install. I use the flywheel lock and a long long cheater bar to remove.
But becarefull with cheater bars. I use a long 1/2" breaker bar and then slide a long heavy pipe over that for the cheater. It can really ruin your day if that socket or breaker bar breaks at the wrong time.

Just as bad if you break the gland nut.

...I use my torquemeister and a 3/8 inch breaker bar...I got tired of playing around with trying and keep things stable while torquing it down by myself...hell now its NO problem at all..
To easy, makes more sense and I'm a cheap bastard.
