Fly wheel puller?

[Kaz the Minotaur]

What kind of fly wheel puller do you have to use to take the fly wheel off the stock engine? The kind with the fingers that go around and under the edge of the flywheel? Or the kind that has the plate that bolts to threaded holes in the flywheel and then you run the pusher bolt through the center of the plate?

Most people just use 2 bolts that go through and tighten them little by little until you break the seal on the taper. Or, some people have been known to tap the side of the flywheel and that breaks the seal.

You mean go through the fly wheel and push against the case?

 

[RampageHopUps]

Yes, that is what I meant. Flywheel puller is prefered, but some people do it the backyard mechanick way.

I see. Do you know what size they are and how long they need to be? Is that what these holes are ment for from the factory?

Yeah, that will work. I'll just get (2) M6 X 4 inches bolts at the hardware store on Monday morning.

Yes it is a very simple tool to make. You need three holes in a piece of steel or aluminum. Thread or weld on a nut on the center one. outer two will be thru holes for your bolts to screw into the flywheel. Hint screw the blots into flywheel first the measure your center to center of them the fins make it a pain to measure correctly without.

It is simple tool to make.


I don't agree on the bolt's thou the Flywheel or the taping method. If it goes wrong it will be expensive to reaper.

I tried the 2 bolts through the fly wheel method this morning. It worked well. When it broke loose it make a relly sharp crack.

The first time I did it, mine made the same noise. Thought I cracked the block or something. All is good though, does it every time I pull the flywheel.
