flywheel/ magneto removal

[Eye R Newb]

Is it possible to remove this part withoug the proper puller? (i have a spare stator and flywheel so if something breaks its okay im gonna replace either way) im just curious im going to order a flywheel puller next week im just curious thanks -Jon

EDIT: nevermind picking one up tomorrow at a locla cycle shop for 16 bucks

nope.. buy a $14 puller.. you'll get your $'s worth out of it..

Worst mistake a person can make is to try a jaw puller or gear puller on their flywheel, just tears it up and more times than not it still doesn't come off. The proper flywheel puller is $15 well spent.

i know, im picking one up tomorrow, 16 bucks at the local shop. thanks i just wasnt sure if there were other ways, but id rather not mess up the crank or magneto even tho i have spares, its always good to work smarter and not harder ty again

This is the problem i have also whoever worked on this engine before, stripped the threads, I cannot get my new tool to work, Any suggestions??
This is the only thing holding me up from breakin it down and starting the rebuild.

This may sound stupid but are you threading it the correct way, the puller threads in on a left hand thread.

with my motor out laying flywheel up on the bench, i fished a piece of #12 wire thru the one hole around the shaft and out thru the other, wired these to the rafters in my basement holding the whole motor off the bench about
2", so the weight was on the flywheel, then held a peice of 2x4 over the end of the shaft and gave it a couple hard whacks and walla popped right off, make sure your ready so the motor doesnt fall off the bench, worked for me
