Never seen or thought of the "extension through the wheel" approach, watch out for buggering up the wheel paint (pic looks like it's a bit late). I also removed the rear bumper, makes it alot easier. Do not forget to lock the cams.

Car was damaged on the drivers side rear drive train before I got the car, I pulled and painted the lower rocker panel. New drive axle is in place so it must of been a good smack to the under carriage.

Use hand impact to help loosen bolts.

Then use breaker bar to undo bolts, then remove flywheel.
