Re: Advice for cutting a flywheel off

[wetwillie]

"a lead hammer is a good tool for the purpose as lead will deform and hopefully not mushroom end of crankshaft." is exactly why I reached for the ol lead hammer. Same one that I made in metal shop back in ’69 as a matter of fact. After this many yrs, its debatable which looks better, me or the hammer.
Anyway, thanks to a couple of left hand drill bits that I bought at Harbor Fr8 today, I was able to extract the broken bolt. The flywheel is back under tension and has a puddle of Kroil in the recessed area. We’ll see if anything happens.
