    The flywheel took a good hour of heating and pressure to get off and then I had difficulty getting it off because somehow one of the keys got kinda stuck and the other one did not….so that created a whole mess and I suppose that a very slight amount of material could have gotten shaved off the keys or where they fit into in the process…not so much that it would cause issues but enough that it does not fit very snugly. I suppose there also could be resistance in the flywheel keyway because they will stay in place without falling out before I try to put the flywheel on.  I will try the dimple method.
