Could a tool like this:


http://www.amazon.com/Lisle-29200-Hand-Impact-Tool/dp/B0002NYDRG


be used on the offending flywheel bolt? I have found this tool to be quite
handy. (i.e. front brake splash guard screws)


I know one doesn't have to pound the crap out of this tool to use it, but I
have no idea if (effectively) banging on the end of the crank is a bad idea.


Neil.
