Dazeys Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 When I bought my Banshee the flywheel was loose. The key was broke. I put in a new key and tighten it up. Last week I bought a Chariot timming plate and a new flywheel puller. I tried to install the plate, but the threads in the flywheel are messed up and the puller won't thread in. I run a auto shop and have just about any tool you can think of. If I don't have it I will the next time the tool truck comes. Anyone have any cool tricks to get it off without the use of the puller.

Remember the threads are reversed. If thats not your problem you can always just weld the puller on the flywhell. Edited January 28, 2011 by mia-shee Quote

Jereme6655 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 try n find a truck that's got the correct sized left hand tap. otherwise your gonna need to just either get a regular puller on there or cut it off and get a new one. Quote
gotta_goatsfast Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 Yea man, removing a flywheel with bad threads is kinda like playing butt-darts with a wrestler. No matter how ard you fight it, you're going to be fucked. You can find flywheels on here for under 50 bucks if you're patient. Quote
Dazeys Posted January 29, 2011 Author Report Posted January 29, 2011 I just put it back together, so I can still ride it untill I find a new one. Quote
bigblockbanshee Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 (edited) We had a guy take one off one time and he heated the end of the crank and around the middle if the flywheel all while taking a pry bar and putting pressure on the flywheel between it and the case. After he got it heated to his liking he started hitting the end of the crank sharply (with the nut on of course) and after about 3 hits it came right off. Of course this was on a motor that needed a rebuild but I don't see why you couldn't do it on any motor as long as you were extremely careful. Edited January 29, 2011 by bigblockbanshee Quote
