Re: OMC vs HF flywheel puller

[reivertom]

After reading this thread, the only thing I can add is what my Dad would say….. "You’re not holding your mouth right…" :^) It looks like you have yourself a bonafide PITA! Have you tried a heat gun with a ball of foil on the nut and crank for a heat shield? Could you heat up the fly wheel and then cover it and hit the crank nut and shaft with a coolant such as compressed air in a can like you blow out computers with? If it is under pressure from the puller, it might be enough. I know it’s a long shot, but it might work if there is enough temperature difference. So what if you cook your coils at this point?
