Re: Flywheel removal 40 HP Evinrude

[frankr]

That isn’t even one of the most difficult ones. The 1962-up had a bigger shaft. Anyhoo, the only ones I have ever been unable to remove were where some fool had put Locktite on the tapers. As Garrry said, use Grade-8 bolts, and screw them in 7/16", no more and no less. The bolts thread into the steel hub and should not pull out. Use your flywheel puller and give it heck. If the puller breaks, get a better puller.
