Fly wheel with stripped out threads...how to remove


Recommended Posts

I can not win with my banshee.  I questions why I ever bought it at times.  SO...i needed a OEM stator, no problem.  I will use my nice flywheel puller and live will go on.  Fast forward 30 mins...hmm, the shop how put my junk stator on (not oem) decided to it was cool to mash back on a flywheel with no threads left on the puller area....the end is ok but the fly wheel threads are non existent anymore.

 

So no how do i get this off, i already know i need a new one but this one I do not know how to get off.

 

Any advise would be great.  If not I need to spend more to take to a real good shop and wait 2 weeks before they can touch the quad.  I just want to ride this $7000 paper weight more then 15 mins.

I do not have an welder or know anyone with one locally.  Could I soak it in penetrating oil and use something to pull it off.  I do not have a jaw puller either, any idea where I could get something or possibly make something out of long bolts like a figure?  I tried threading in my puller I had, it went int all the way and when i went to pull it off i just removed any of the remaining threads & messed up the end of my flywheel puller too.   I put the case on and walked away and road my KX112 3wheeler.

 

As far as messing up the fly wheel...well its already messed up in my book so I am OK wasting it but how in the world the shop got it back on when they did my ricks stator is beyond me.  I have the bike on its side soaking in WD40 right now.  It was pretty rusty inside and I did see a flywheel key.  I even ran it 15 mins with out the stator nut and cover off thinking maybe it would spin its self loose.  Didn't work.  Maybe I can sleep on it and figure out a fix this week.  I wanted to ride it at the hills this weekend to test my new OEM stator

JR's cycle shop in ephrata did the work.  They has messed a bunch of other stuff up and stole some crap off my bike then closed their doors.  I've been re-fixing everything they did since nov 2015.  I don't want to mess anything up worse then it is.  I've seen some hookey crap with flipping blown up bike bikes and atc's but never anything like this coming form a cycle shop.  Guess i was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I got it off.  i used a bolt to spot it on my timing place.  put JB weld in it let it sit.  threaded the puller down and gave it 1 last wack.  It poped off!  Do banshees come with a billet aluminum adjustable timing plate?  Also what does that do power wise...a few people sats +2 or +4 timing but I'm clueless on what it does? My dirtbike motors don't got them options I have a few mods like millet head and pipe and flowing air box and i ride the woods and hills...

this looks shiny as fack, unless the Ricks Motorsports stator came with that..  See attached.  I'm glad i walked away to watch tv with my wife for a few hours.

 

I need a nice used flywheel now...anyone got one they can rush me?  If not off to ebay.

For future reference on welding a puller to a crap flywheel, without an available welder.

Find a independently owned small auto body repair shop, the smaller phone book ad the better.

They will most likely throw a weld on something like that at a moments notice for free.

I know I will.

Prob would be a good idea.  I found out my buddy has a stick welder at his job so that good for future use...problem is it's too easy to juse do the work correctly the 1st time...not sure why most people cant grasp that idea...like pipe wrenched and lock nuts....makes me wonder sometimes.
