If the engine is froze up, the flywheel can't be turned. You can use a socket and breaker bar on the crankshaft bolt, work it back and forth in both directions and it might break loose, but I wouldn't count on it. Usually you have to take the caps off of the connecting rods in order to turn the crank.

Can a rusted flywheel cause the engine not to turn over?

No, a rusted flywheel will not cause the engine not to turn over.


I had a new clutch put in but it keeps getting damaged can you tell me is the is it the flywheel or gearbox also is the flywheel meant to move yes or no?

when you have a clutch put in you also have to replace or remove the flywheel and have it refaced to keep from messing up the new clutch, and yes the flywheel is suspose to turn when the engine is turning, so if the flywheel wasnt replaced or refaced then i would say that the flywheel is what the problem is


Suzuki lt160 1990 the starter is just free spinning it is not turning the motor over what do you do?

sounds like the ring gear or flywheel is worn if you have a manual or stick shift put it in 2nd gear depress clutch let car roll a little release clutch (the engine will turn slightly) then try starting engine. with auto transmission you will have to turn engine over with socket and ratchet bar (if you cant turn over at the drive belt by hand) if this starts your car the flywheel will need replacing... Could also be the bendix ... the solenoid that engages the starter motor to the flywheel.
