Reply To: Update A-35 Flywheel Removal

[Buccaneer]

I was in the same situation with a 12 hp West Bend recently,
wanting to use a 3 jaw puller, but it was highly advised against.
Instead, I made a good knocker. The magic only happened
after I supported the whole weight of the motor by the flywheel,
then using the knocker. I hooked one side of the flywheel on
my heavy duty workbench, and held the other side by hand
while I wrapped on the knocker.
I’ve only used a torch a time or two on a flywheel……. after
all else failed.
