    1. Use a good puller with Grade-8 bolts screwed in 7/16"
    2. Tighten puller bolt.
    3. Tighten it some more
    4. Pry upward on flywheel just enough to lift it in the bearings.
    5. Give puller bolt a whack with a hammer. NOT a sledge. It’s the shock that does it not the brutal bash.
    6. Tighten puller bolt and repeat 4 & 5.
    7. Don’t be so gentle. It will come off
    8. Forget the PB Blaster and Sea Foam. And forget the heat.
    9. Get mean. Did I mention tighten the puller?

    Heck, the 35 isn’t even a tough one. You should try a 40HP
