Hi Brendan, i don't want to argue with Scott but if you don't have a lift,
and i guess you don'T, it's not that fun and easy to do that on the ground!

It is possible to do so but by raising the front! Then, lowering the trany
and pull this one foward.

Buy the SASCH kit, nothing else. Believe me, i have tried many.

Now, i agrre with Scott, you DON'T want a lighter flywheel on a stock Boxer
engine.

Cheers, Ben
