I've got an '81 25hp Johnson that I am wanting to pull the flywheel off of. Is there any trick to getting the nut off the flywheel without using an impact wrench?
Maybe a strap wrench? Just wondering what you have tried. Thanks!
What I've done is; put your wrench on there, and give it a good sharp smack (counter clockwise) with a mallet. Maybe two sharp smacks. A strap wrench would be the best way (I think) but, if you don't have one you may have to improvise something else.
Thanks for the reply. I'll try that out. I may have to end up getting a strap wrench to torque the nut back down when I'm done?? I've got to get the torque specs for the nut too.
