airn99 Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Against what I've heard i went ahead and tried to pull my flywheel with a 3jaw puller. Of course no luck so now i guess i've gotta get the right tool. Which is what i shoulda done in the first place i just didnt wanna have to wait a week or so to get it. Anyways is there anyway to tell if i've done any damage to the flywheel. With the cylinders off and the pistons removed i can spin the crank and feel the magnetic force of the flywheel against the stator. Is it a sign i bent it or am i just bein paranoid?

jbooker82 Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 I dont know why you would be paranoid if you went a head and tried a 3 jaw puller. Guess if the crank takes a #2 on you then you will know the flywheel is bent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notsed Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 just get a new flyweel the one you used a 3 jaw on is most likely bent now and will tear apart your crank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Commit the crime, do the time.... Usually the crank will be ok, but the flywheel gets warped using a 3 jaw puller. Have a machinist spin it on a lathe and see how bad you tweaked it...but, if it were me, I'd find a good used one and go that route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common mistake for those not warned, but you said you knew not to use it.....I ruined the flywheel on my first Banshee like that, but I didn't know about the puller. You can get a puller from magic racing in a couple days, btw. Good luck and welcome to the HQ! :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
