2000twin Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 Ok my flywheel will not come off.I broke one puller already.Broke the bolt that runs through the middle in half.Why wont it come off..I'm afraid to break the other puller.. Quote
Snopczynski Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 Are you using the factory puller or a jaw type puller? Quote
KaosBanshee44 Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 The jaw pullers aren't worth a shit i tried to use them the first time i pulled mine off and it kept slipping off damaging the flywheel, i used the two bolt puller with a impact and came off like a charm. Are you using a impact? Quote
theshee Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 Yeah a Jaw type puller will fuck a flywheel in a hurry.... If you were using a jaw kind, you may as well plan on getting a new flywheel if it was stuck that bad because it will be screwed up. Get a good flywheel puller, and use an impact. Sometimes they kinda weld on a little, but they will come off with an impact and the right puller. Quote
Bansh-eman Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 like they are saying use the bolt type puller. dab a tiny amount of grease on the threads and where th bolt touches the crank. hit it with an impact and it will pop right off Quote
fastrthnu Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 I had an experience once (happened to be a ricky stator) where I guess my woodruff key went with the taper and it took a very stong hydrolic press to get it off. And even then it barelly came off. Most of the pullers are pos china metal that strip easily too. Make sure its in as far as it can go before pulling grease it clean it back it in and out ect.. I buy those in 2`s. Quote
ClimbAnyHill Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 How did you break that bolt? It's kinda hard to do if doing it right. Once had a bitch of a time removing a wheel even though I had the right puller & impact gun. I leaned her to the side, sprayed it with PB Blaster. Went for a burger, came back & hit it with the gun... off it came with no effort! I buy flywheels by the 2zees :biggrin: Quote
KaosBanshee44 Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 See i'm just kinda worried about using mine, the jaw puller took a tiny tiny gash not even chunk off the outside part of the flywheel. just don't know if it threw the balace off may just go ahead and get a new one to be on the safe side.

PhantomMs1 Posted April 14, 2008 Report Posted April 14, 2008 Mine was stuck on there also, I torched it off and bought a new stator/flywheel. Broke three pullers trying to take it off the "correct" way haha. Quote
