Re: Johnson Model A flywheel removal trouble

[willyboy]

Thank you for all the helpful advice. Yes Tubs I did booger up the top 2 crankshaft threads which warranted a trip to Sears for a nice set of tap and dies of which I didn’t have so I guess there was a bright spot to it in the end. I stopped by the hardware store and picked up a 7/16-20 bolt and 2 nuts of the same size. I haven’t gave it a try yet as after the boogered up threads I thought it best to walk away for a while. When I put this nut/bolt combo together tomoro and attach it to the crankshaft should the nuts be touching the flywheel or stop just before? And Mumbles what are you supporting the weight of the motor by the flywheel with-blocks of wood?
