help with flywheel removal

[diagotx98]

I've tried to tap on the fly wheel with a rubber hamer. tried to heat it in the oven @ 300 and tap it off and even just tried to use a small gear puller. can anyone else help with any ideals.

Have you tried a battery terminal puller? These work great in getting a stuck flywheel off.

I wrapped the blade of a putty knife with electrical tape then gently pried the flywheel loose on my 2.5 mill with it. Got to be real careful and work it all around between the flywheel and motor with a twisting motion on the knife.

I am surprised the gear puller did not work.

As long as you didnt BEND the flywheel it should be perfectly fine. If you are talking about the marring on the outside edge, its ok.

A battery terminal puller should have done the trick for you.

I picked up one at the local auto parts store for around 3 dollars.
