You may need a blowtorch to help heat up and loosen the flywheel.
What you need
Step 1
Disconnect the spark plug
- Before you begin, make sure the engine is switched off and cool to the touch.
- Grab the plastic housing at the end of the spark plug wire and pull firmly to disconnect it.

Step 13
Loosen the flywheel
- Caution: The flywheel may come loose at any time during this step, potentially sending itself and the puller into the air. Before you begin this step, be sure to wear PPE.
- Use a universal puller to loosen the flywheel from the tapered pressure fit on the end of the crankshaft.
- Attach the universal puller arms underneath the denoted “puller” sections on the flywheel.
- Use a wrench to torque down the puller to slowly loosen the flywheel.
- This may take a lot of force.
- If the flywheel seems to become stuck after significant pressure is applied with the universal puller, use a blowtorch to slowly apply heat where the flywheel contacts the crankshaft.
- The flywheel will “pop” off the crankshaft once loose.

Step 15
Remove the flywheel key
- Use needle nose pliers to remove the flywheel key from its slot in the crankshaft.
- During reinstallation, make sure the key is fully seated in the slot. Otherwise the flywheel will not fit correctly.
