Re: flywheel tool?

[David Stanton]

To tightenthe flywheel, I’ve been known to wedge a board between the prop and the cavitation plate, but on the small motors, like 3 HP, it just breaks the shear pin when you tighten the flywheel. I’ve also used a 1/2 inch drive air impact wrench and you don’t have to much hold anything, but you don’t really know how tight it is. The air impact wrench works great for removing flywheel nuts without holding the flywheel, and it works great on the flywheel puller center bolt too! I never leave it on long enough to shake apart the upper crank bearing.
