Reply To: Update A-35 Flywheel Removal

[T….in Wisconsin]

Thanks for clearing a few things up.

I was hesitant to strike the knockout tool with great enough force that might damage the crankshaft, I try a but more force tomorrow.  I tried using the air hammer method as show in the video, it did not work for his application.

Regarding heating the hub, tomorrow I’ll try applying the heat further out away from the crankshaft in an effort to minimize expansion of the crankshaft

What is a safe temperature zone to apply heat, I’ve been staying under 150 F. Could I go to 170 F ?

If I increase heat, would the potential transfer of heat from crankshaft to the points, condenser and coil be minimized as long as the points are closed? (point paddle is not in contact with the hub cam.)

Thanks Tubbs, Joe and to all those who have offered their thoughts and advice, it’s much appreciated.

Fun Stuff!!
