Re: Johnson Model A flywheel removal trouble

quote Mumbles:

Make up a little nut and bolt system as in Wedgies picture to match the threads on your crankshaft. Tighten up the two nuts on the bolt and then run it down snug on the top of your crankshaft making sure the bolt has bottomed out on the crankshaft. Support the weight of your motor by the flywheel and then hit the bolt hard like you mean it. Don’t play around. Give it a hard hit with your hammer. The flywheel should pop right off. Don’t worry as you won’t damage the threads on the crankshaft doing it this way.

By the way, this is page 87. ☺

OK, I want to make sure I have this correct. Is this right:
(1) the bottom of the bolt needs to rest on the top of the crankshaft
(2) the 2nd nut needs to be half on the bolt (roughly) and half on the crankshaft (roughly)
(3) any requirements for the first nut? should it be tightened to the top of the bolt threading, or is this not necessary?

Thanks again!
