Help with a flywheel. I'm trying to get it off.

[Jquest]

I've taken everything out and all I have is the flywheel. I've put 5 screws into the slots to make sure I get good threading. I would hate to rip some threads out. My problem is...it's not moving. If I thread the bolts too far down...am I tapping into something and that is why I can't move it?

Yes I am. I have a puller and I made a plate under it so I could grab all the holes. I didn't want to use only two holes like the manual yes.

is it a heavy duty puller w/an arbor in the center? some are really stubborn, get it tight and hit the arbor of the puller with a hammer dont kill it just give it a wack then tighten up on the puller and so on

ok...figured it out. I was tapping into the thread in the lower part. Apparently...there are two thread sizes. One for the flywheel and the other that goes to the part it threads into. DOH!!+o(
Now I just have to get the right theads and I shoudl be good. :fingerscrossed:
