Who Can Loan Me A Flywheel Puller


Recommended Posts

Let me know if you get in a bind, I can ship it from work at no cost, you'll just be out the return freight. UPS would take at least 4-5 days from here too.

 

BTW I had to do both my RZ and Banshee flywheel last month and neither one of the damn things wanted to break loose. Do yourself a favor and soak that bitch in your favorite flavor of penetrating oil (WD40, lizard piss, whatever) for a few days before you even try to take it off. If the engine is out just turn it up on the right side, remove the nut and soak the center of the flywheel so the juice can work it's way onto the tapered part of the crank. If the motor is still in the frame, get a 2' piece of 2x4, turn the fuel off, and lift the left side of the quad...use the 2x4 to support the right side on one of the frame rails and you'll have the flywheel pointed straight up; same deal soak the piss out of it and it'll be way easier to get off.

 

Oh yeah, when you get a puller don't just torque the f*ck out of it, it's like a pulley remover or bearing remover; you just want it pretty snug, then smack the end of it with a hammer, tighten & repeat. Too much torque and it will strip the fine threads. Sorry if you already knew this shit but just wanted to save you some greif in case you didn't.
