Guys, Thanks for the diagram. Comparing it to my flywheel on my donor motor, it appears exactly the same, so it appears that I have the right flywheel assembly. I have no experience at this, and was surprised when the flywheel wasn’t just one molded (or machined) part, but rather a complete assembly of many parts. I do appear to be missing the lockwasher (2) and the "cover" (5). I do not see these parts after removing the nut, etc.
Given that this appears to be the right flywheel, then why would the bolts holes to pull the flywheel be so small? Can I trust that if I find 2-3" long bolts 1/8" in dia to fit the existing holes for my "puller", they won’t just break when under the strain of removing the flywheel? I’m a little afraid to try without further assurance I am doing the right thing.
