it appears the shop that was going to mill out my flywheel cant becuase they dont have a 13/32 endmill.Granted I can order one but it might get damaged/dulled by cutting the flywheel.I tried to dremel it out but I didn't get very far and my grinding stone clogged up very fast.Said shop doesnt really want to drill bigger and sleve the holes due to the time involved.So How did you all do it?Or is there a speical grinding stone that grinds away the steel in the EA flywheel away fast?How did you all do it?At present I can't quite pay shipping as well as the 80 bucks that someone was offering to do(mrose?).Oh yea I was using an Orange grinding stone.Should I try the "chainsaw sharpening"ones that are pink?

Can't really help you too much because I am using an EJ22 with the EJ gearbox casing and clutch/flywheel..

 

But, have a look at my posts here. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=69832

Might be an idea, you could be the first guinea pig to try it.

after seeing the to flywheels I would have to move the starter in alot also the EJ radius is larger...

dremel. the $30 Craftsman one-speed wired rotary tool, and 2 grinding stone attachments and a couple hours. worked perfectly! and VERY smooth, no vibrations or anything.

which grinding stones?Were they the orange 3/8" round ones?I have the dremel.just grinding stones...Mine keept clogging up with iron and wouldnt cut.

i used a metal carbide cutting bit. not a stone...

yep, that's the one. I remember having some problems with that if I pushed too hard (or maybe too little....). and it did take a long azz time....

 

a carbide cutting bit sound nice though! I wish I had seen one of those when I was doing this project...

Wheeler Industries did mine for $90 about a year ago. Do you have an auto flexplate or an EJ22 flywheel to lend them as a template?

I dont know why I didn't think/do this earlier!I picked up my flywheels (EA&Ej) then I asked the rent a tool place at my college if they had anything that would cut/ovel out holes in steel.They had a metal cutting carbide bit in a air die grinder.It took me about 45 minutes.But I had to stop a few times are get a 15/32 drill bit to put in the center.Then I had to get safety glasses and earplugs(it was loud as all hell,and the safety shield I was using was scratched to s@#$).And finally some carb cleaner and scotch pad to clean the layout paint of.Then I removed the ring gear and flipped it over because the teeth were starting to strip...the cooling of the flywheel added 1.5 hours to the time required,but I now have "new" teeth for the starter to engage to and the flywheel has oveled holes..
