If the timing belt is good, you may simply remove the eight 5/16" bolts and take off the outer flywheel. Heck, You might even be able to install a new timing belt after removing just the outer flywheel. The starter may be removed w/o removing any part of the flywheel,

Re: flywheel holder &more

A stator on a distributor Merc fits around the inner part of the flywheel. You may just remove the outer flywheel to replace both.

Forreal i can change the distrubtor and the stator by removing the 8 5 \16th bolts.could i use two wrenchs to hold the flywheel from moving then?i dont see it this way in the manual.but im game if its right .

You can jam the flywheel ring gear with a screwdriver to the block, socket on the flywheel nut, or use the outer bolts on the flywheel to hold it, with a wrench. Use some blue locktight on the distributor pully bolt and the outer flywheel bolts, when you reassemble.

Re: flywheel holder &more

Use blue locktite. Torque to the standard for 5/16" bolts, aw heck, just make them tight, one hand on the wrench only......
