For a flywheel stuck to crankshaft that resists being removed by all other
techniques a can’t hurt, might help very old school suggestion…
HEAT junction of flywheel hub and crankshaft until it is warm enough
to melt wax…then touch a candle (i used a birthday cake candle I found
in kitchen junk drawer), The warm wax becomes a liquid that will be drawn into
the joint by capillary action and if you are lucky the flywheel grip on
crankshaft is relaxed and flywheel can be removed.
I used this on a KF7 Mercury that had resisted all the usual methods
It worked so fast that I did not even have time or need to attach flywheel puller.
This method has been around a while, I was told it is steam engine and
hit an miss engine era method.
Anyway, can’t hurt, might help and the price is right,
Louis
