Please note that the PICTURE UPLOAD function is not working. The iBoats Forum Moderators are working with the system administration folks at the parent company to get the issue resolved. This happened about a year ago and here we are again. In the meantime you can post photos as links to a picture hosting site of your choice. We are sorry about the inconvenience and will advise when the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
don't really understand the question. if you are talking about the holes for the puller, they very well may be full of threads, from a soft bolt someone tried to pull flywheel.
i believe F_R is correct. what happens when using a soft bolt, is the threads are left in the flywheel from the bolt. try taking a tap and work them out.
