Flywheel Holder Solution?

[PJS.550.Mod]

I do not have a flywheel holder to remove the flywheel from my SJ. Where is the best place to get one? Are there any alternative tools to remove the flywheel?

Thanks

PM QuickMick. He makes some very handy flywheel tools.

holder?

get a harmonic balancer puller from the auto parts store.

$10

rope in the cylinder, keeps the crank from spinning.

Thats good for a motor your not gonna use. But like Watcon said, the rope trick will catch up with you one day.

I usually use an impact, but I have used the rope trick a few times with ZERO issues.

granted there are some people that fawk up an anvil with a pillow case, so I understand your sentiment.

I have resorted to the rope trick in the past. The idea makes me a little squeamish, but has anyone had any actual problems as a result?

Use your air tools.

i put a nickle between the fly wheel and the bendix............i herd that since the nickle is a softer metal.........it doesn't fauck it up hahaha.

i haven't had a problem...........

we used a rope on a buddy's ski. preeeeeety sure that's why the motor is now frozen. possible bent rod. dont do it.

yes, i think it has ruined some good ropes...I use an impact also with a auto zone harmonic B puller....a yamaha mechanic once told me that the rope trick could possibly twist a unwelded crank, but many have done it w/o issue...
