bansheesmoke Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 i need help on how to remove the old timing plate if there is a way without using the flywheel puller thing? You mean you need to remove the flywheel without using the thread in flywheel puller? You cant get one? Or it wont thread in or what? Do not use a jaw type puller cause those will ruin your flywheel? Ive heard of flywheel threads being stripped and people welding the puller to the flywheel if you have too. Give some more details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonsBanshee Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 You have to use a flywheel puller then simpily unbolt the plate using basic hand tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BellicoseBanshee Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 i need help on how to remove the old timing plate if there is a way without using the flywheel puller thing? Buy a flywheel puller (cheap, $10-15) and it will be very easy, unless your flywheel looks like the Titanic... :ohmy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbooker82 Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Sure there are several different ways to remove the flywheel. You can get the right tool and the job will be easy and you wont ruin anything. You could use a 3 jaw puller and bend the flywheel. You could try to use 2 prybars and probably end up bending the flywheel just like the 3 jaw puller. You use use a cut of wheel or angle grinder and just cut it off but you will probably end up ruinning the stator along with the crank shaft. You could use a cutting toarch wich would probably be the easiest but you will probably end up ruining the stator and crank as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbooker82 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Flywheel Puller LINK You should be able to get one from rocky mountain avt or any other place that sells motion pro tools. It threads in to the flywheel so when you pulling the flywheel it puts the pressure on the center hub not on the out side of the flywheel. josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnGRbanshee Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 if you have the same luck i just did you better buy 2 or maybe even 3 i havent made it that far yet. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BellicoseBanshee Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 and how do you use the flywheel puller? Make sure the threads are clean and free of any corrosion. Lubricate the threads. Screw the puller into the flywheel (left-hand thread) as far as it will go and snug it, do not smoke it on. Use the flywheel holding tool to hold the flywheel while you screw the bolt (right-hand thread) into the puller which pushes the flywheel away from the crank. It should not be very hard to remove... My explanation might not be the best, sorry. I can only speculate that your flywheel is rusty and/or damaged, or it was installed incorrectly if you rendered two pullers unserviceable...

magz Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 (edited) and how do you use the flywheel puller? seriously? you posted 4 times in the tutorial on how to remove a flywheel and change out timing plates. that not only had pictures. but step by step instructions. if you havent learned by now you probably just should take the bike to a shop. or your only 13 and have never picked up a wrench in your life.

spurdy Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 well ive none how to use a wrench since the age of 9 so go and learn how to relax dog cause u got some anger management puto Come on man, nobody has anger management issues. It's just a flywheel. The puller is piss simple. But if you try to "short cut" it let me know cause I've got an extra flywheel I'll sell you after you f*** yours up! Even if you pull it gently with a puller and tap it with a hammer, which will sometimes break it loose, will make it out of round or bend the end of the crankshaft (depending on where you use the hammer!). A puller is absolutely the only way to go. You asked for help and now you have it, so don't be a smartass! Good luck. SP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
