@wayloncle43 I accidentally deleted my account so now i'm 43Waylon :(

I looked at mine and there is room to hook a puller back there but Ima going to buy the right puller to be safe. Thanks

[Johnnysshop]

@43Waylon Ahh.. Good thinking :)

[Johnnysshop]

@wayloncle43 Thanks for watching and glad I could help! Let us know how it turns out. Good luck!

[Johnnysshop]

@wayloncle43 There's really not way to get the prongs between the stator and the flywheel. The correct tool is about $15 I believe.

how did u get the nut off before u get to the flywheel puller?

[Johnnysshop]

@m0t0cr0ss17 Impact gun

[shoeb2015]

the nut which holds the flywheel must be turned anti clockwise to be removed ?

[Johnnysshop]

@shoeb2015 Yes

[m0t0cr0ss17]

you have to remove the flywheel to get the bottom part of the cam chain, correct? im changing the chain and i gues si need a flywheel puller to get to the chain the rest of the way

[Johnnysshop]

@m0t0cr0ss17 You are correct.

[m0t0cr0ss17]

@Johnnysshop ok just making sure i didnt have to split the case. lol im not prepared for that at all! im halfway done then i got everything out today

[Johnnysshop]

@m0t0cr0ss17 Not at all. Good luck and keep us posted!

Hey I have a 1996 Yamaha xt225 and I need to remove the flywheel, but don't have a clue on what puller I need? Can you help? Thanks!!!!

[avzeolla]

pardon y ignorance, just started learning this stuff. what is the funcion of the stator?

[Johnnysshop]

@avzeolla Kinda like an alternator basically.

[ThePenguinHunter]

hey i was just wondering if you knew what kind of puller i could use on a giovanni 125... iblew the stator plate bought all the new parts and all i need is a puller, ive checked everywhere and there are none made specificly for this model of bike

[Johnnysshop]

@ThePenguinHunter Not sure. That is the one drawback of buying the Chinese bikes. Hard to find anything out on them.

[ThePenguinHunter]

@Johnnysshop alright thanks anyways and i know... ive learned my lesson i will never buy another cheapo product... next one is definitly ganna be a name brand... probly a banshee xD

[23speedracer]

Is the flywheel puller the same for a 2001 yz250f?

[Johnnysshop]

@23speedracer Yeah, it should be. 

[papovideos]

hey, i have a question, do you think a yzf 250 si good enought to use it in rought terrain, off road (no racing tracks), putting a flywheel on it?

[Johnnysshop]

@papovideos Sure it will be fine.

[ChristophersGarage]

i have a question.so i tried taking off my flywheel "my way" without any special tool and what i did was put 2 screw drivers in the hole and held them tight and then twisted the nut in the middle,bad idea i know!one of the screw drivers ended up breaking the glue part of the stator,is that bad?it didnt do any real damage just chipped off a piece of the glue.i think thats what it is?glue?but can i still use it?(the stator)thanks!

[Johnnysshop]

@ChristophersGarage Depends on how big the chunk is. I would keep an eye on it.

[ryguy343]

If im splitting the case to look at the shifting mechanism, do i have to take the clutch and flywheel stuff off, or can i just leave it all on and still split the case apart?

[Johnnysshop]

@ryguy343 Gotta take it off :(

[Tatted250]

How is that you remove the flywheel "weight"? i really want to remove it on my wr450f but im not too sure how to

[Johnnysshop]

@Tatted250 Need to buy a lighter flywheel or have the stock one taken to a machine shop to have it milled down. I'd just buy a new one...

[jekyll1776]

ah i hate special puller tools. might u be doing a trany video on this? ive always wanted to see the innards of these sequential motorbike gearboxes. something about a rotating drum and grooves...idunno. but they should make them for cars! =D. Great stuff john.

[Johnnysshop]

@jekyll1776

I sure will! Thanks, I'm enjoying tearing into this thing for now.

[jekyll1776]

@Johnnysshop

Great, lookin foward to tear down.

[Johnnysshop]

@jekyll1776

Thanks, me too!
