You could try two nuts, locked together, tightening the stud in using the outer nut.

Worked a treat

When fitting the fly wheel housing the manual doesn't mention a gasket just says use
Hylogrip 2000 sealant. But there was clearly a gasket fitted as there are remnants. Do I need both?

no just gasket err1440 if it doesnt have the sealant impregnated like below use some silicone to cover the main bearing joints and sump joint

Perfect thats the gasket I have. Any tips on how to press the seal in as I don't have the overly expensive special tool

a piece of ply cut in a circle and tap it in altering where you hit to steer it straight

Any suggestions on what to use as the flywheel timing pin? Or do I need to buy the special tool?

Fitted the rear seal, went in a bit wonky but straightened up in the end. I think you're meant to fit it with the plastic in and then take it out? Didn't do that. Lip of the seal caught a little bit when the housing first went on but just took it off and straightened it up and went on fine. With my OCD now a bit worried I've balls'd it up. Seal looked completely fine when it went on.

I've got an impact gun, but how would you know when its reached to correct torque?

 

[payydg]

[jamesmartin]
