tnGRbanshee Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 i bought a motion pro flywheel puller . i got the nut off crank not much trouble and threaded the puller in flywheel but when i got the puller bolt bottomed out i couldnt turn it and finally with a 1ft. cheater on it, twisted the dam head off know i have to get it out ,it might as well be welded in place cause it is STUCK . is this common for the flywheel to be pressed on this tight? and would using an impact really make that much of a difference ? any help would be appreciated :: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Impacts are the way to go, but sometimes them flywheels are some stubborn fuckers! good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magz Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 i used a cheap impact from lowes. my flywheel came off in less then 3 seconds...dunno any other way to do it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spurdy Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Impacts are absolutely the way to go. It takes much less torque to remove a bolt with an impact due to the "smack and release" action that an impact delivers. And to support the previous statement....flywheels can be a bitch! Just don't get in a hurry or be too mean with them or you will end up needing a new one! SP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgbanshee Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 (edited) i bought a motion pro flywheel puller . i got the nut off crank not much trouble and threaded the puller in flywheel but when i got the puller bolt bottomed out i couldnt turn it and finally with a 1ft. cheater on it, twisted the dam head off know i have to get it out ,it might as well be welded in place cause it is STUCK . is this common for the flywheel to be pressed on this tight? and would using an impact really make that much of a difference ? any help would be appreciated :: The first time using the puller to take my flywheel off, I swear I almost did the same thing, along with almost popping a blood vessel and breaking my wrench. Finally I said fuck it, picked up the impact gun, and the flywheel popped right off. Def the way to go.

400rednEX Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 if the puller gets real tight you can smack the head of the puller with a hammer to break it loose too. you broke the head off the puller? if its that tight maybe try hitting it with a hammer a couple times to see if it pops loose. just don't go crazy and bend the crank or mess up the bearings by wailing on it.
