Guest Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 SO I couldnt get the flywheel off with the hammer and flat screwdriver method - I will wait till the flywheel puller arrives -http://postimage.org/image/8mq3j8r1h/http://postimage.org/image/svdh4yqcl/There is some strange hard stuff around the edges of the magnets, like someone has tried to re enforce them - but half of it has chipped off (and presumably been eaten by the engine!) Should I remove the rest of it? Quote
megawatt Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Never heard of the hammer and flat screwdriver method? When I remove a flywheel or rotor, I stop the crank from turning and then undo the bolt and remove it. I then screw the flywheel puller outer thread into the flywheel and then screw the puller centre bolt in until it is very tight against the end of the crank. I then hit the centre bolt with a lump hammer and it usually falls off the crank. If it doesn''t, I hire a hydraulic puller and repeat the process. Quote
Mrbarry Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 I have a hydraulic puller if any one wantts to use it. Need to be local tho it weighs 29kg it so as a set and I don't really want to post it anyway as it was £1k. Quote
