Hockey390 Posted March 13, 2004 Report Posted March 13, 2004 I'm at the place where my banshee is right now, and have to leave in like 30 mins. I want to pull the flywheel so I can send it to be lightened. I have the flywheel puller tool, but how the hell do I use it? There is a bolt with a nut on it in the very center, and I'm assuming you have to take off the nutt to use the tool. But when put a wrench on the nut it just spins my flywheel. Tell me waht to do ASAP!! I have about 30 mins and will be sitting here waiting for a reply until the moment I get an answer.. Or for 30 mins, whichever comes sooner. Please post! Quote
banshee04le Posted March 13, 2004 Report Posted March 13, 2004 Try putting it in gear with the emergency brake on. That should lock the engine for you so that you can remove the nut. Quote
Hockey390 Posted March 13, 2004 Author Report Posted March 13, 2004 no emergency brake =( Plus my brake fluid is gone because it was getting old and I'm putting in new... =( Thanks for reply, keep them coming PLEASE!!!! Quote
Cannon Posted March 13, 2004 Report Posted March 13, 2004 You have to take that flywheel nut off, hold the flywheel from turning. Try putting it in gear, have someone hold the brakes on. Air tools would help, but if you can hold the flywheel from turning you can break it loose. Be care sticking anything in too far into the flywheel holes to hold it, your stator coils are pretty close under there. Quote
banshee04le Posted March 13, 2004 Report Posted March 13, 2004 Well dude, unless you got a strap wrench you can put on the flywheel to hold it...you got to put it in gear and figure out a way to keep the back wheels from turning. It's not that hard . Quote
Hockey390 Posted March 13, 2004 Author Report Posted March 13, 2004 k, sure would be helpful if my rear tires werent flat, and brake fluid completly empty... I will figure it out, thanks for the tips Darrin Quote
banshee04le Posted March 13, 2004 Report Posted March 13, 2004 Actually it should help that your rear tires are flat. Just have someone sit on it, I doubt you'll turn over flat tires. Quote
Hockey390 Posted March 13, 2004 Author Report Posted March 13, 2004 It would really help if I had brake fluid in so I could just lock them up... But since I dont, I tried lodging a 1/2" thick craftsman screwdriver in the rear sprocket and then into the swingarm.. Ya, good thing craftsman has a lifetime warranty on their tools. Needless to say, i bent that basically 1/2 diameter metal to a 45 degree angle... That didnt work, so I shall just get a friend to come out with me and I will bring some brake fluid with me, fill them up, get that all good then remove the flywheel hopefully this weekend. As far as tools go, I think I'm going to invest in one of those air impact wrenches... I've came across way to many nuts I cant get off, and that would be very helpful. Anyone know where I can get one cheap? Also thanks for quick posts, I can always count on you guys! Quote
