Well folks, I successfully pulled the toothed flywheel from my donor motor and cleaned it up. However, I am having no luck pulling the smooth flywheel from my restored motor. I have used P Blaster and used the same puller on the better engine with no luck freeing the flywheel, which was off a season ago at a professional shop to tune it up. How hard can I "tap" on the crankshaft with a hammer to free it? All I had to do to free the toothed flywheel was torque the puller without tapping. Now I have cranked as much as I can without the strap wrench slipping, and it still won’t break looseeven with rather mild tapping with a hammer. Suggestions?
