cheap shit puller started bending :pissed: will have to get a decent 1 for the job

Sorry for the hijack Dan but am I able to use my three leg bearing puller to remove the flywheel or do I need the specialised flywheel puller. Hope you have had a win! :thumb:

Hey Dan, here is an idea to help with the flywheel removal and inflict minimal damage.

Tighten the puller up nice and tight and then pour a kettle of boiling water over the flywheel boss. That should move it without hurting anything.

So I stopped worrying and lo and behold, things did get worse!

That`s a good idea, never would have thought of boiling water.

Im guessing as its an ex army bike & not having daily or even monthly use that`s why its stuck so tight. :dunno:

much too late for the whole being gentle with the hot water, or the cuppa, while i was heating the flywheel the heat has damaged the inner stainless steel layer that covers the magnets it sort of stood up and creased :headslap:
so when i realized it's stuffed i took to it with the 32 ounce/900gram hammer
the result flywheel off :funkynanna:

Image

Image

now the damage :bigeek:
this is the inner surface that raised up

Image

no longer round :innocent:

Image

and i stripped the thread on 2 cheapy pullers both on this motor :eekers:
anyway i cut the end off the "better" one and ground the end to a point so i could have another go :confetti:

Image

and then i shut the shed and got stuck into some

Image

:guinness:
