i believe the flywheel bolts are multipoint 17mm. an impact should break them loose. torque them back to 87 ft lbs when you are done

They should be a 12-point 17mm head socket.

errr...beat me to it.

Think ill be able to break em loose without an impact? And how much does a torque wrench cost?

Almost any decent impact will get it done, I used my electric impact last night to pull off a flywheel with no issues and I always just put them back on in the same manner .. Good n tight

Torque Wrenches is something you don't want to go cheap on. Consistency is the key not always getting the exact number. The cheap ones from places like HF or the bendy bar types will not be your best option.
