12at Flywheel fustration

Trying to remove a flywheel with an 8oz mallet. Usually this works but not on this engine! Uncle Era to the rescue the following weekend ;-)

@serchmarc You could use a puller if you have one, but I bent mine on this one

man i know how u feel right now cant get mine off but did u ever get it off???

[22ness0hayden]

@5cheeta Lots of heat and a bigger hammer! Usually they come off piece of piss, but the one in the vid was a right arse. I did try hitting it with a metal hammer too, but needed a sledge hammer type deal in the end

[22ness0hayden]

Yeah, I need a bigger hammer!

Pry from behind with a pry bar while hitting the edge of the flywheel (not the gear, of course) with a metal sledge hammer. Pops it off every time.
