flywheel / Generator removal

[Andy B]

Hi Guys,

After giving upon my replacement engine, im going back to my original block... i swapped em round as the transmission was knackered - gear lever bent so changing gear was a nightmare, and there was a loud whine in 6th..

So i've decided since the first engine was a good runner - idled rev'd and ran sweet as a nut - im just going to swap the transmission round.

First problem is taking off the generator and flywheel... now i can buy a flywheel spuller on ebay quite cheap so thats not too much of a problem, but the generator in the manual is removed a special tool/puller...

is there any certain type of puller that can be used on it thats readily available? and where you can buy them from?

Cheers for any pointers

Hi Andy,

Im not clear on your question as the genny/stator is under the flywheel and simply held on with 3 pins.
If you mean the flywheel you need a three way puller that you can put 10mm pins through, these screw into the flywheel.

You do not need to remove the starter/trigger from the left side of the crank, engine slits with it still fitted.

ah right... im getting my names mixed up 

so its the flywheel i need to pull off from the right hand side... and its just a regular 3 way puller?

the left hand side doesnt need pulling off then? looked like i had to get at a few things behind it to split the crankcase looking at the manual... but perhaps i'm getting mistaken..?

have ordered a 3 way puller from ebay.. fingers crossed i'll have it apart by the weekend...

then i'll have to do it all over again with engine #2... yey...

Cheers for the reply

so i got to try my 3 way puller today....

the flywheel is on so tight it started to chew the threads on the puller!  cue major sense of humour loss...

going to back with a rather large hammer and see if it helps free it off any...

is there any other tips for getting this bloody thing off?
