Bolt that holds the flywheel on is a single 54mm nut.
Unless you have an aftermarket flywheel and you are attaching it to a balancer. In which case there are 5.
I used loc-tite red and tightened them to 40 ft-lbs each.
Considering the clutch cover bolts are only supposed to be at 33ft-lbs I think.

Yeah, the aftermarket flywheels have some number of bolts that make the counterweight and flywheel one unit. Those are likely spec'ed differently from different manufacturers, but are likely in the 40-55 ft-lbs range.
In anycase, the unit as a whole is still bound to the e-shaft by a big, honken' (54mm) nut that you should get to 300 ft lbs.
And I believe that the red loc-tite is recommended by mazda as well as the aftermarket flywheel makers. IIRC, there is a pic in the manual that tells you specifically where to place it on the threads. not too far in, not too far out. Not sure why.
