I heat mine up with a propane torch until its too hot to touch and it normally falls off. Also, it's handy to have good "battery terminal" puller, The type with the "cone adjuster" that adjusts the "jaws",,found in most Auto Parts places

Billy, if you use a puller, you should be able to get the flywheel off. You can get a small puller at your local auto parts store.Let us know how it works for you. Good Luck, Richard

A small gear puller works great. The heat method may be ok a long as you're planning on doing bearings. Don't think that plastic retainer in the bearing is gonna like that heat too well. :unsure:

I use a windshield wiper puller.I think heat is fine also.

Bill,

I use a battery terminal puller from Sears and it has never failed, even on my 90's. Is about $9.00 in their auto center.

Nitro, Use some anti-seize on cone when you reassemble. Next time one or two taps witn nylon mallet it pops free. Ray
