36mm
It is torqued to 35 MKg (250 Ft-Lb), so you need a strong socket and
a lever arm roughly 1.5 meters long. And a corresponding method
to hold the flywheel steady. I use a long, flat steel bar which
is bolted to the flywheel in 2 places to hold it still.

I use a flywheel lock job and a long 1/2" torque wrench to install.
I use the flywheel lock and a long long cheater bar to remove.

But becarefull with cheater bars. I use a long 1/2" breaker bar
and then slide a long heavy pipe over that for the cheater. It can
really ruin your day if that socket or breaker bar breaks at the
wrong time.

Just as bad if you break the gland nut.

down by myself...hell now its NO problem at all..
