OK dangit I cannot remove the flywheel from my TII motor. I need help.... Someone who lives Tri Cities please help me out.

 

What is "tri cities"? I'm relatively new to this area !

 

Pasco, Richland and no one can ever remember the third city ... I think it is Keniwick or something like that.

Good Luck with that Fly wheel they can be a bitch!

 

What no "please"?

 

um actually i see a please. read closer, "someone who lives in Tri Cities PLEASE help me out....."

that looks like a please to me..lol

 

D'oh!!! I didn't see that.. The title just jumped out at me... Yeah.. I blame the title....

My bad.

 

haha, asiandude, just put a long pipe over the socket wrench that you are using to give you more leverage.

 

If you have the nut off, next spin the nut back on a few turns, Hit the outside perimemter of the fly wheel with a baby sledge hammer in a star pattern, pops right off everytime.

 

Be extremely careful not to hit any of the friction surfaces or the threaded areas where you mount the pressure plate. There should be surfaces with nothing on them.

Better yet, use a dead-blow hammer, or put a block of wood between the hammer and it.

Edit: I'm pretty sure he's not that far though. I think he still needs the socket.

 

what about using a rubber mallet?

 

Maybe with a running start. Yeah, a rubber mallet might work.. I've used it before on the lose ones. Dead-blow or 4lb sledge with wood block is how I usuaully do it... Just the 4lb sledge on the striking surfaces for the really stuck ones.

 

i mean when its just the prying part of it if not you can throw the rubber mallet at somebody and it wont hurt .ummmmmmm.... well as much

 

your kidding...Kennewick and richland always come to mind first for me...then pasco...but i dunno...

 

I use a big impact gun that never let me down yet! As for the flywheel I use a 3 or 5lb brass hammer and whack the hell out of it.

 

cut it off with an acetylene torch.... the sparks are so pretty.
oh, you wanted to re-use it?

or....
bolt the flywheel to the engine hoist with a chain and the press plate bolts, pick up the engine and drop it, the flywheel wll remain on the hoist and the rest of the motor will drop to the floor......

if you need any other helpful hints, just pm me....
( i wish i could say that i have not done any of those things)

 

I usually just hit it in a star pattern with a rubber mallet and it comes loose. It never fails!!
