Cosmo,
1 I inserted a large screwdriver into the ring gear and used one of the
three studs which holds the top of the transmission bell housing. as a
Fulcrum point. It is a bit awkward with one person but you can do it.
2. I am not sure of the exact torque on the TR4 Flywheel bolts, but on a TR6
it is 50-75 lbf ft and should not be much different than a TR4.
To quote My "Repair and Operations Manual", " Secure the Flywheel with the
four bolts and tighten evenly to 50-75 lbf ft ( 69 to 104 kgf m).". I think
the important part is make sure all the bolts are evenly torqued.

PS I would also inspect your ring gear to make sure it has not backed off.
Also upgrade the bolt that holds the "throw-out bearing fork" to the shaft.
I have had to pull my transmission on separate occasions for both reasons
It is much easier to do once :-).

Jim,
you have to pull the flywheel to change the pilot bushing. It is not hard,
just heavy Make sure you torque the bolts back down and you will be
fine.

engine still if it's suspend by a come-a-long?2- what's the qorque on the
