Pulling the flywheel on my 96xt to change to electric start flywheel. Simple question is which way does the bolt turn to get it off. Is it standard left to loosen or is it reverse thread. Wont move either way right now. Wanted to know for sure before i put the man power to it to get it off. Then i have a puller to get the flywheel off.

Second question. Does the flywheel have to go on a certain way, line up stator ect. Or do i just put the new one on. Still cant get bolt off, which way?? Any tips? Heat, impact wrench?
normal thread, lefty-loosey. i use an impact, right or wrong. squirt some pb blast on it first. flywheel will only go on one way due to the keyway. torque will be 80 ft lbs when reassembling.
