hit between the friction surface and the ring gear, avoiding hitting either two

i also work my way around the flywheel, such as hitting at the 12oclock, 4 and 8 for example.

Don't forget to thread the bolt back on a few turns before taking your hammer and hitting the flywheel to get it off. You want it to pop off of its spot but not to slam down on the floor, so leave the nut on a few threads and the nut will catch it.

You want to take the mallet and hit the flywheel solidly near the edge but not on the ring gear.

I've got a video about flywheel removal I downloaded many moons ago that I can't find the original page for. I'm uploading it to YouTube and will post when it's up.
