Okay, I really do not want to pay someone $400 to replace my flywheel and I live at an apartment where you can not work on your car.

So I have a fast solution. The fan has an Allen Bolt. I know this sounds crazy, but drill a hole in my firewall (yes, I know having a hole in the firewall in not a great idea) but anyway, drill a hole in the firewall, get a foot long externion with the correct Allen Tool (greased up so it can come out when the engine ignites) and have a Socket Wrench on the other side so you can turn the engine to start it.

Ideas, thoughts. I know I am crazy, but I miss my 914.
