in general, do you guys replace the flywheel bolts whenever you take the flywheel off? i've just been adding blue loctite and re-using them... but after seeing this video i'm feeling a little worried:

the camera man could have lost his legs if that flywheel went back instead of forward... in my escort the transmission of course is on the drivers side

 

Reuse the bolts. They probably overtightened/stressed the bolts in that car.

 

I was thinking buying a set of these would be pretty neat:
ARP 251-2802 - ARP Pro Series Flywheel Bolt Kits - Application - SummitRacing.com

but then again thats another $50 spent that gained me nothing lol

 

holy **** *****!

That would suck. Bad flywheel bolts can't be the only reason for the whole transmission to fall out would it?

 

well the flywheel bolts let go, on its way out the flywheel sheared the bellhousing completely off, and the trans fell out
