[alfa] rope

[GModelle@xxxxxxx]

Gentle Alfisti,
I personally would not use rope to arrest the flywheel. Last year I was 
tearing-down a seized two-liter and was able to apply enough torque to the pulley 
nut to bend a connecting rod. Admittedly this is an extreme case, but why 
stress the bearings, rods, wrist-pins with force from mechanical advantage? It must 
be better to grab the flywheel directly. Keep the load-path short.
