Stuart thanks for the information this is where I was having difficulties. I appreciate the time end effort, I'll give it a shot..
Thanks again, Kent
It's pretty simple to jam the flywheel using the ring gear and some type of screwdriver or wedge. This prevents it from turning as you attack it with your torque wrench.
The trick is to sacrifice a 6 point socket for the job! Because the bolts that hold the flywheel to the crank have shallow heads it's easy to round the corners off as you try to tighten them. If you take the appropriate size socket and grind it dead flat on its end the likelihood of it slipping off the shallow bolt heads is much less.
I would torque in two steps to the final value using a logical torque sequence. Make sure the mating flanges and spotless when you mount the flywheel.
I don't know if they use locking tabs or Loctite (blue) these days...I remember locking tabs.
