Flywheel won't come off...

[KIGuy52]

In an earlier post "25 Merc, at my wit's end with this thing", I said the flywheel wouldn't come off, even though I had it off couple weeks ago.<br />I'm using a 3/8" thick plate metal puller made with a 3/4" fine thread aircraft grade bolt through an aircraft grade nut with a 1/2" Snap-On impact wrench with 150 p.s.i. and a 1-1/4" Snap-On impact socket. The plate metal is starting to bend. This is all I can do. I don't have access to any tools with any more a** than what I'm using. Has anybody ever seen anything like this? I sure haven't. It's like the tapershaft has somehow welded itself to the flywheel or something. Am I missing something? Am I going to have to cut this thing off? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.<br />Thanks<br />JD

Got it. Beefed the plate up to 3/4"....that and 200 p.s.i. air pressure did it. Good thing too...the next step was going to be to remove it with my .308 Enfield.

Now that you have it off....<br /><br />Take a decent hammer and give the tention bolt a tap after letting it sit for a while, don't pound on it, just a good solid square hit.<br /><br />Next time you need to pull the fly wheel that is. <br /><br />K
