Years ago I had a 102 project, I do not recommend using an air impact on the nut that holds the flywheel on. I tried this myself on that project and got to add the cost of a new crank to the build. It sheared off the entire threaded portion of the crank, back then a new crank was $160 or so, now they exceed $400.
