PLease Help! Banshee stuck in 5/6th gear

[XxMeltIcexX]

DO NOT use that puller. You are risking ruining the flywheel by warping or taking metal chunks off the lips. Get a Banshee flywheel puller before you go any farther. If you already ruined your flywheel its not a bad idea to get a lightened one anyways! :biggrin:

 

EDIT: If I were you i'd get a clymers manual before you do anyting else, the first time you split the cases it can get overwhelming, unless youve done a 4 stroke motor before then its cake.

 

Your Shopping list (So Far):

- Clymers

- Flywheel Puller

- YamaBond (If you can still find some, its been discontinued)

- Gaskets/Seals (Crank Seals, Clutch Cover Gasket, etc.) - It's always a good idea to change them all out before reassembly.

so the puller is specific to thebanshee flywheel? The puller I have has two arms that hook on the back lip of the flywheel and it has a bolt that goes directly into the center of the bolt on the fly wheel. You tighten the middle bolt and it "should" pull off but this is not working for me

 

Here's a link to a puller on ebay so you can get an idea of what you need http://cgi.ebay.com/flywheel-puller-87-05-...1QQcmdZViewItem , and like Meltice said get a manual there is a lot of little things you can miss when you put it back together

Yamabond is being sold around here again but if you cant find any get some 3-bond its just as good, and another thing i always use blue locktite on the crank nuts (flywheel and water pump gear)

wow, I was definatly using the wrong puller. I will pick one of thoe up tomorrow. So after a day of pulling the engine out and apart I decided to clean it all up and clean off all the gasket parts from the pieces. I also decided to start inspecting the parts when I noticed that the idle gear has a tooth that is about to crack off and that the small gear on the back of the clutch basket also has a hairline crack all the way through it. I guess I will be needing to replace those to and I havent even cracked open the cases to find the original problem yet! Any other things I should look out for or replace that hasnt been mentioned previously in this post? I will be pickin up the clymers this week to help along. I have the factory servicen manual but it was a download and I have a shitty printer and.....well it helps a little but I really appreciate the hands on info you guys are throwing at me. Thanks. I;m sure there will be more to come over the next few days
