I’ve got a Johnson 25R70E and it’s not getting spark. I decided to remove the flywheel and check the points etc. but I cannot get the flywheel off. I’ve got a puller and tightened it as much as I can as well as used PB blaster, an impact, ball peen hammer, and even a blow torch. It’s not budging. Is there something I maybe missed? A secret nut or bolt I don’t know about? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

soak soak soak .
if heat does not work try freezing... a keyboard dust spray can.....can cool things down fast A can from a dollar store will shoot pure spray held upside down and should help... spray the bolt only then heat up the FW fast to create a shock....try puller while heating the FW surroundings .

or a teflon spray may have better capillary effect to soak the threads .

Steering wheel puller, impact or hand wrench very tight. One big smack gets mine Everytime. Big hammer.

Show picture of your puller.
