Reply To: Update A-35 Flywheel Removal

[T….in Wisconsin]

Good morning,

At this point I’m leaning toward cutting off the flywheel and hub. I have cycle heated, lubed and using a knockout tool smacked it with sufficient force to pop the flywheel. I don’t feel this risk of damaging the crankshaft outways the option of replacing the flywheel. As you also noted it’s a likely possibility the flywheel is caught / hung-up on the woodruff keys.

It appears the A-35 flywheel excluding the hub is one piece? First thought is to use a die grinder and cut out a diameter a little larger than the hub diameter.

Advise, thoughts appreciated.
