How to remove tranny companion flange
I am all but ready to install my inlinePRO R200 diff kit, and one thing I need to do is swap out my MY06 tranny companion flange with a MY00-03 flange. Ya sent me the correct flange, and I went to remove the MY06 flange but the tranny assembly turned while I was trying to loosen the hex nut on the companion flange. What am I doing wrong here?

The Helm's manual talks about using a special tool to loosen the hex nut. I don't have this special tool. Can I simply use an impact wrench to loosen it? Also, the Helm's manual states that this hex nut is 27mm; mine is 36mm???

Hmm...the usual master mechanics haven't chimed in yet...
Concerning the crank shaft turning while I am trying to loosen (and later tightening) the hex nut, could I have somebody hold the crank pulley in place with the ratchet while I am loosening the hex nut on the companion flange?

I have used an impact to remove it. The Honda tool holds the flange so you can remove/install the nut. I have used two spare bolts and a pry bar to hold it still while I thightened the nut back to spec.

and then click on part #10, it says that the size of this hex nut is 27MM. Mine is 36mm. I don't know that the disconnect here is.
