I think it's 225 ft-lbs. Divide 225 by your weight and that will tell you how far
out on a breaker bar to stand to get that torque. Don't jump on it just stand
gently.
The hard part is figureing out how to keep the flex plate from turning. I have
holes drilled in a length of steel angle that I bolt to the plate or the flywheel.
