watkins Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 (edited) Hi Everyone, Somehow the threads on my newer Ricky Stator Flywheel got messed up and I need to remove the flywheel because my stator somehow broke into a million pieces and I need to get to it. I went out and bought a new puller today (the motion pro one, thinking my old one was stripped) and still it will not thread onto the flywheel... I am hesitant about using the jaw type because I know it will destroy my flywheel... any ideas on getting this sucker off without using the standard screwon puller? I cleaned the threads on the flywheel and puller, still no joy I have removed flywheels on banshees for a long time using the screwon puller so its not that I dont know how to use it.

BigRed350x Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 If you can figure out a place to hook it to a slide hammer might work for you. You can use the jaw type puller, just make sure you get one big enough and be careful with it. You CAN use those, they are just a little tricky. I've had to use them out at the dunes in the past, but we put brass pads between the jaws and the flywheel so the jaws didn't scar it up at all. - Jared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csrmel Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 just to be sure, you know the threads are reverse, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats strange. I thought the threads on the puller were intentionaly softer than the threads on the flywheel. I have stripped 2 pullers, but never the stator. As stated above you can use a 3 jaw puller but I haven't seen it done with no damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to remove mine with one and it blew a hole in the drywall in my garage. Simply put, it pops off like a bitch!, like bigred said, pad it up or you will ruin your flywheel. I ruined mine !!
