DemonShee Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 I am trying to get my flywheel off. I have the correct puller from Yammy, threaded it, everything. Put the impact wrench to it and IT WONT BUDGE!!! amy I doing something wrong??? What else can I try? I thought about putting a propane torch on the fly wheel and heating it up. Probably ruin the flywheel but I dont care at this point, I have to get this crank out!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallynut Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Sometimes a nice solid tap on the puller with a hammer will break it loose(get a little tension on it first). If it's rusty, that won't help matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malott 1 Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Put some pressure on it with the puller and give it a few light taps with a brass hammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FASTOYS Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Demonshee, Did you get your flywheel pulled off?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRed350x Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 (edited) Some WD-40 in there and tap it with a rubber mallet. I had one stuck once and that got it off. They can be on there real good sometimes. Make sure you have grease in there where the little point on the puller spins.

chevyboy51 Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 the first time i pulled mine I would tighten the puller with the air-gun then beat on the puller with a hammer and kept repeating that quit a few times I eventally got it off but had to hit it so hard so many times I bent the hell out of my puller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonShee Posted December 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 I got it off FINALY. I didnt have much time and so by the time I had to head back out to the shop, there had been no replies. I found Jeff @ FAST # and gave him a call. I really didnt want to bather him but he very kindly took the time to talk with me and give me some suggestions. I tell ya, thats customer service that cant be beat. THANKS JEFF!!!!!!! I took some PB Blaster and sprayed it in there. Made sure the tool was in as far as it would go and gave it hell. I found part of my problem was my father-in-laws compressor's regulator was set at 75 lbs intead of 90 lbs. I loosend the drive shaft on the pulley then would hit it fast and hard with the impact, and repeated about 3 times and boom, popped right off. One thing I didnt notice tho before it was off, this pulley has been off before, or attempted to have been taken off. There is marks on the pickup tabs on the flywheel from a jaws type puller. They didnt hit the pickup but they are deffinatly there. I hadnt run the quad enough to say if it had a warped flywheel and made it vibrate or not. I didnt notice anyting tho so it might be ok. I want to have it lightened so I will have Jeff check it when he does it (if he does, I forgot to ask). If it is bad I guess I will have to find a new one. Thanks for the help guys!!! BHQ RULES!
