downNdirty Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350BANSHEE350 Posted October 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 you can set torque settings on impacts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locogato11283 Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenBB Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollinRhino Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animalman294 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
