62T Flywheel Removal?

[GIL]

I've searched and found a ton of stuff on how to destroy the stator, and I do know to do the rope in front cylinder trick to get the flywheel bolt loose, BUT,

How do I get the flywheel off w/o a puller? Is there a position I can put the flywheel to run bolts thru it to tighten bolts against case and have flywheel pop off of crank and not hit the stator w/bolts?

oh yeah, dumb ? now-is the flywheel bolt left or right hand thread?

THANKS GUYS!!!

The bolt is standard threads. I wouldn't try to remove without the puller. The only thing behind the FW is the stator. Screwing the bolts in to back against anything will destroy the stator.

Yeah, go to Autozone and drop $20-25 on a harmonic balancer puller and you will be set.

Flywheel is r/h thread BTW.

Thanks guys, I'll get one today! Paul's doin his magic to my stuff this week and I'm doin all this in a shoestring budget, dam sure can't afford a new stator due to a dum azz move.

That's the one I have used to pull about 15 flywheels in the past couple of years. The only thing I suggest is to go to Home Depot and get some Grade 8 5/16" flat washers (or 8mm Grade 8, but I don't think they carry those, so 5/16" work). The ones that come in that $9.99 will curl under the force.

What a pain in the AZZ!!! Never remove the top end first and then try to remove the flywheel! Once again, Gil Is A Dumazz!!!

U guys were right, went to O'reilly Auto Parts, universal harmonic balance puller-14.95

what you can do if you don't have an impact is angle the bendix down, then stick something like a quarter between the flywheel and bendix so when you torque on it it's locked. just make sure the end of the bendix is not still in the bushing or you can damage it.
