Today we'll be working on a log splitter that needed a flywheel replacement due to the engine over revving (caused by a governor linkage failure).

The flywheel nut needs to be torqued to 70-80 NM (Newton Meters) which is approximately 55 ft-lbs.

To achieve this torque, we need to somehow prevent the new replacement flywheel from rotating.

On a riding mower, or even a push mower, this can be done by putting a socket on the pulley bolt or blade bolt on the other side of the engine.

However, on this log splitter, there's a hydraulic pump on the other side of the engine, so how do we prevent the flywheel from spinning without damaging our new flywheel?
