<VV> Flywheel bolts

[kcvair at netscape.com]

Robyn-A good 6 pt. socket should do the job with the bolts you have unless they are badly rounded by someone using a worn out socket.  Keep the socket square with the bolts and you shouldn't have any problem turning them.  I just did mine last week and that was the procedure I used and didn't slip off and bust my knuckles.    Ken

Ok,
	Just need to check on what I am missing here.  Was starting on
the reassembly of my '63 clutch job and noticed the flywheel bolts were
rounded a little on the edges.  Went to look at what it would cost to
replace them with a better set and I see the price is approx. $6 a bolt
from the vendors.  What is so special about these bolts?  I have not had
time to check locally, but they appear to be 11/32(?) x 1" 24NF, grade
8.  Can I dress the edges and re-install carefully or am I taking a
chance that the PO over torqued them and they could possibly fail?  Any
opinion welcome....

Thanks,
Robyn Wood
