Hi Bob,

I suppose the breaker bar method is no worse than an impact wrench, which I guess the pros like Rhys use for both removing and installing -- working against the clock as they do.

But having the time, I'd rather go by the book and torque to spec. With the rope method so easy and safe, I just can't see any point in going with the breaker bar, jamming flywheel teeth etc. (I even saw one post that recommended pulling the starter to jam the flywheel!) Those methods make no sense to me, when a such quick an simple alternative is always at hand.
