Reply To: Stubborn Flywheel, Gale 40 hp

I’m with Frank, you must be very careful when pounding on the crank…Keep in mind that when you pound on the crank, you are beating it downward against the crankcase, which can result in subtle damage to the bearings also….That puller looks fairly beefy, but the OMC puller bolt has very fine threads and a long handle that fits into the puller body also….That being said, I know the 40hp flywheels can be a bear, please wear eye protection…
