Question Questions & help about rebuilding.

Do I really need a dou pin puller? After watching the rebuild dvd I thought I would be able to use a long bolt and just yank that ****. will this work?

What is the best way to remove old gaskets without damaging parts? I've been using a knife but it takes a really long time since I'm being really careful.

Can I use a torque wrench with a 2 1/8 inch socket to remove the fly wheel or do I really need to buy a airgun?

Thanks in advance.

thx ted. life saver! what time you wanna come by? I was trying to look for a 2 1/8 inch socket for the flywheel but that **** is huge and hard to find lol.

Atkins said 8mm stud puller hard to explain.. I got wrenches 8-19mm and sockets 8-19mm as well

You don't have to pull the studs out.
