Should I remove the rubber seals on the bearings? Fast eddy says that it depends on application, however these are going to b in the engine, so I should remove them right?
 
Hello, I have a thunder tiger ek4 with a leaky front bearing on the engine. I was just wondering, do these work? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Thunder-Ti...146509&hash=item25c3164ed9:g:-VMAAOSw~ZlfQlAE

And if so, how do I get the flywheel off the engine? It seems stuck and no matter how hard I try it won't budge. Thanks.


F.E. bearings are good ,but I heard that it is normal for the front bearing to leak a little ,but too much ,I would change it!
I use channel locks on the flywheel an a deep socket on the nut!

I was able to get the nut off, but the flywheel is just stuck no matter what I do. Should I try using a blowtorch or something to get it off?

Well ,I am going to say it ,there is no shame in my game ,it is a controversial matter ,but some people will urge that you
get a puller tool that is available for that purpose ,but I would put the engines crankshaft on a block of wood on its end
an tap each side with a hammer ,as the flywheel is pressed on a collet ,I use a non sharpen punch or a blunt object!

Trick is ,is to hit each side with equal force!

Should a rubber hammer work? I could try that with the engine on the vice.
