How to remove flywheel on 750 kawasaki

Went to ride my ski and when I hit the start button, it went zinnnnnng every other time I attempted to start it. But only under load. Plugs out it engaged every time. I am assuming I need to replace the the Bendix and took ski apart but can't figure out how to remove the flywheel. Can anyone help? There is only one threaded hole on the inside of it and that is the center one, so not sure how puller would work.
See pic. thanks a bunch for the help!!

Could just be low voltage not spinning the starter hard enough to fully engage the bendix (or a weak starter). Verify that's not an issue before you buy more parts.

Otherwise, what KMN said. They make a tool to hold the coupler while you take the flywheel off but i've always used the wooden handle from my ribber mallet.

Thank you for the feed back guys. I looked at the puller K

Thanks for the information on the puller. Woudl this be any different than using a M18 x 1.5 bolt with an impact wrench? Also to Vumad's point, how would you check to see if the starter is weak?

thanks again both of you for your responses.

Check the voltage, take it apart, try a different one.

Taking off the flywheel is no big deal. I'm not sure about the bolt thing. The correct tool is cheap enough.
