Re: who sells these?

believe it or not, I bent the big screw that is part of my flywheel puller. some of these damn flywheels are so tight I guess it was bound to happen eventually. I have probably used it 50 or 60 times, but I thought it should last a lifetime.

anybody know where I can buy a new one? doesn’t look like something you can just pick up at any hardware store.

No, you can’t get it at the hardware store; its an Acme thread, not a normal 60 degree thread. Acme threads are used where especially heavy load bearing work is to be done.

McMaster Carr carries threaded rod in various Acme thread configurations. You’ll need to know the diameter and thread pitch in order to get the right one. Measure the outside diameter for the size, and for thread pitch count the number of threads in one inch of length.

Hope this helps.
