BansheeBrian Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 I cranked hard on that removal tool and nothing happened.Thought about using my new torque wrench on it but I was scared of bustin something important. should i crank down on it again and whack it gently(Stan knows)?? If it comes off this tough will reinstalling it be as difficult? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton eyed Joe Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 LOL yeah whack it gently. When I had mine removed at an engine shop, he had to use an impact on the puller. He told me he hadn't seen one that stubborn in a while. Putting it back on is as simple as placing the woodruff key in the slot on the crank, putting the flywheel on, and torquing the nut down. You might have to hold the brake, or put it in 6th gear or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boonman Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 A light tap with a brass hammer should do the trick. An impact tightens as it "hammers" it, both at the same time..... Sweet, very sweet tool. And sometimes, it can be tricky getting the woodruff key to stay in place, especially with an aftermarket crank..... A combination of grease and never sieze got mine back on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BansheeBrian Posted October 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 I used the impact on it and out she flew! Gentlemen, you wouldnt believe the dust and rust that was back there. I cleaned the inside of the flywheel and hit off the ends of the stator with 1000 grit sandpaper. That's where the rust was. Now everything is shiny and new lookin.Should i get a better spark than before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton eyed Joe Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 Rust won't affect a magnetic field. One thing I plan on doing, and I wish I would have told you, is I may coat my fly wheel with some of that rust converter from Rustoleum to stop the rust on my flywheel. I'm afraid of it eating away enough material to shatter while I'm riding. I might just be paranoid though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BansheeBrian Posted October 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 A shattered flywheel may be a good thing to avoid. I will take your advise and coat the flywheel. That is the first time it has been off from what i know of but on the computer under the V.I.N. it says i have an extended warranty for a crank replacement. The front sprocket was a 13 tooth. This was when i bought it new. Something's up. I am looking into advanced timing and sending the flywheel out to a weight loss clinic.

speedster07 Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 What does that little module do right underneath the flywheel it was all flooded in my banshee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton eyed Joe Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 That is the trigger for your ignition. As the magnets on the flywheel pass by the inductor coil, it causes a small electrical pulse. Your ignition sees this as a signal to fire the sparkplugs. By moving it clock wise, you advance timing, counter clockwise you retard timing. I think the gap is supposed to be around .019 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
