Made from cold-rolled steel with a protective black oxide finish, it securely locks the flywheel by replacing the starter, enabling precise crankshaft immobilization during high-torque maintenance tasks. Compatible with a wide range of GM engines and bellhousings, it includes grade 8.8 bolts for reliable mounting and is ideal for both professional mechanics and serious enthusiasts aiming for flawless engine repairs. ## Description The Chelhead LS Flywheel Locking Tool provides a secure and straightforward way to hold the crankshaft in position while servicing a compatible GM LS or LT engine. When tightening or removing a harmonic balancer bolt, the crankshaft can rotate under torque and make the job difficult. This heavy-duty LS engine tool installs in place of the starter and engages the flywheel or flexplate ring gear teeth, helping prevent crankshaft movement while you complete the repair. It is suitable for harmonic balancer installation and removal, flexplate replacement, flywheel service and other procedures that require the crankshaft to remain securely positioned. The tool is designed for many 1997–2019 rear-wheel-drive GM V8 LS and LT-based engine applications, including LS1, LS2, LS3, LS6, LSX, 4.8L, 5.3L, 5.7L, 6.0L, 6.2L and 7.0L engines. It also fits select Gen V LT1, LT4, L83 and L86 applications and clears both manual and automatic RWD bellhousings. Installation requires only two mounting points. Remove the starter, place the flywheel holder in the starter location, and secure it using the included proper-length grade 8.8 bolts. Once installed, the locking section engages the ring gear to provide a stable holding point during high-torque service. Constructed from 1/4-inch cold-rolled steel, the holder is TIG welded for strength and reliability. Its black oxide finish helps reduce surface corrosion and provides added protection during storage and repeated workshop use. The Chelhead flywheel locking tool can be used with an engine mounted on an engine stand or with a compatible engine already installed in the vehicle.
