    I used the Freeze-Off on a seized transom clamp screw on my ’56 30hp Johnson. Heated the transom bracket up with the torch real good then sprayed the clamp screw with the Freeze-off. The quick temperature change shrunk the clamp screw and it backed right out. Thought it might work on your flywheel but sounds like yours might need dynamite!

    Next time I get to the big city I’ll look for a can of Freeze off……. or could I just put the whole
    powerhead in the freezer a couple of days (leaving the puller on, under tension) and
    quick heat the flywheel with the torch?????

    Prepare to be boarded!
