flywheel problem

so i went to change out my clutch and flywheel on my 2004 RX-8, when i got to the flywheel i noticed it wasnt bolt on. we were able to get it off but my new one is a bolt on flywheel, is there any way to install a bolt on? like a special tool i need?

You'll reuse the 54mm flywheel nut that you took off.
Which flywheel did you purchase?

I take it you are replacing a stock flywheel with an an aftermarket aluminum one? Don't they need a mounting kit such as this one from Racing Beat?

Ohhh... You're probably right. He didn't get the counterweight with his flywheel.

You can go to a local salvage yard and get one off a car with a auto trans.

Yep, just use the counterweight from Automatics.
