Re: OMC vs HF flywheel puller

[wetwillie]

Well, I heated the area up so hot this evening that the entire flywheel was hot to the touch. I then kept blasting the flywheel nut with liquid air until the nut was literally frosty. I then used my impact gun to back the puller bolt out before taking a running start at tightening it down. LOL One of the 3 bolts
holding the puller to the flywheel snapped. 🙁
I guess I have a trip to Fastenal in my future. I’ll get a set of shoulder screws and/or hardened bolts ASAP and give it another try. I filled the recessed area around the crankshaft flywheel with penetrating oil. Can’t hurt.
