Reply To: Stubborn Flywheel, Gale 40 hp

Buc,
Have you tried heating the flywheel with the torch, then immediately hit the crank snout with CRC Freeze-Off? The change in temperature from the chilling effect of the spray might be enough to jar the thing loose. You’d probably have to shoot the whole can at one time to make it work – could be messy but might do the trick. Just a thought.
