I believe those perimeter bolts hold the ring gear on and are irrelevant to pulling the wheel off the crank.
Washers are a problem. I usually use a stack of grade 8 washers of decreasing size, but making up some pads out of bar stock would likely be better.
I’m right now trying to take off a flywheel that has hammer marks around the hub, suggesting it was pounded ONTO the crank. Not a good sign….
Wico/Chrysler flywheels frequently have dimples or cast-in holes but they aren’t threaded. Easy enough to drill them on a drill press, but not a very nice job when the wheel is mounted and the mag parts are waiting underneath. Does anybody see a problem with drilling them through, as opposed to drilling and tapping blind holes (assuming the wheel is loose, of course)?
