downNdirty Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 Just use an impact gun. It works like a charm. When putting the nut back on just hit the trigger twice for like a second each time and use a little locktite Quote
350BANSHEE350 Posted October 1, 2008 Author Report Posted October 1, 2008 you can set torque settings on impacts? Quote
Meat Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 I got a "strap-wrench" from auto section at walmart. made to remove oil filters... Iv also used the strap wrench with success. Quote
locogato11283 Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 ive never had to hold my flywheel taking it off or putting it on.. i just use an impact. and ive never torqued it. Quote
dajogejr Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 ive never had to hold my flywheel taking it off or putting it on.. i just use an impact. and ive never torqued it. X 2. It is absolutely critical though....make sure your kill switches are turned off, and clean up the threads on the flywheel before you reverse thread the puller on. You want more than just a few threads of the puller into the flywheel. Brief hit with the impact should pop it loose... Quote
BenBB Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 I agree an impact is the easiest way to get it off, works for going back on also but ya may or may not have it torqued just right (use loctite just in case, I had one come off a 250R and had to push the bitch home). Strap wrench will work but can slip and bust some knuckles. I made a tool, there's some pics in the electrical FAQ below but here's one: Quote
350BANSHEE350 Posted October 1, 2008 Author Report Posted October 1, 2008 ^ i like that idea of making your own, i might try it Quote
RollinRhino Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 Use what I use: a small oil filter wrench. Can be bought at any auto parts store for under $20 Quote
J-Madd Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 X 2. It is absolutely critical though....make sure your kill switches are turned off, and clean up the threads on the flywheel before you reverse thread the puller on. You want more than just a few threads of the puller into the flywheel. Brief hit with the impact should pop it loose... Heed that warning. You can ruin the threads in the flywheel, and the puller. If you loan out your puller, tell your buddy that. I've had 2 pullers ruined from loaning them out. Quote
Animalman294 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Posted October 4, 2008 I'm not rich like some of you so I just got a flat piece of metal and turned the flywheel til that little square on the outside came around and the other end was pushed against the foot peg to stop the wheel from turning more. Came right off.............. :biggrin: Quote
